Lodosa
Eclipse in Lodosa
Lodosa boasts a large number of monuments, as well as other tourist attractions, thus offering an opportunity to learn about the history of the municipality. Among these, the Torre de los Velasco -where the viewpoint is located- stands out, which offers panoramic views of what was once the historic border between Navarre and Castile. Adjacent to its south-east façade, stands a Renaissance-style chapel built in 1570 by the Counts of Nieva.
Make the most of it and discover Lodosa, its cuisine and other tourist attractions.
Services
All the viewpoints of the official network have a series of common services which include reserved car park areas, information booths, toilets, catering services, drinkable water available and medical service or ambulance. In addition, as elements of security, meeting places and covered spaces have been defined. Each viewpoint can also offer a series of cultural activities and science outreach that complement the offer for that special day.
Lodosa’s viewpoint for the eclipse is next to the Velasco Tower. To make it easier to get to this site, the main car park will be located in the town and a shuttle bus service will be provided for visitors. The viewpoint will be open for access from 11:00 a.m., and activities will take place after the eclipse. The area offers basic services, car park areas and catering options.
To round off the experience, a programme of cultural activities has been organised for the afternoon at the same viewpoint. In this way, the setting will allow visitors to combine its rich history with this unique astronomical phenomenon, bringing the evening to a close with a viewing of the Perseids after the eclipse. The shuttle buses inside the viewpoint are managed by each local council. After you purchase your ticket, we will contact you with more information.
