What can visitors expect in Costa Calma?
The day starts at 10:00 with solar observation and a display of meteorites. Both run until 14:00 and are free to enter, according to the Cabildo de Fuerteventura.
A mobile planetarium is also available from 10:00 to 14:00. It offers hourly shows, as the Fuerteventura Zeitung reports.
The planetarium reopens in the afternoon from 16:00 to 18:00. Hourly sessions for all age groups are offered then as well.
At the same time, from 16:00 to 18:00, a workshop on astrophotography and meteorites takes place. Participants learn the basics of astronomical photography there.
The day closes with night-time stargazing at 20:00. Visitors can observe the night sky and learn more about celestial bodies.
Where exactly does the event take place?
The venue is a municipal events marquee on Avenida Jahn Reisen in Costa Calma. It stands between the SBH Costa Calma Palace and SBH Monica Beach Resort hotels.
The Fuerteventura Zeitung points out that the Fiesta de Santa Marta was also held at this location. Holidaymakers in the south of Fuerteventura should therefore find the site easily.
Who organises the free day?
The Cabildo de Fuerteventura, the island government, is responsible. The department for accessibility, IT, new technologies, planning and strategic projects organises the event.
The responsible Consejera de Nuevas Tecnologías is Carmen Alonso. She stresses, according to the Cabildo, that people of all ages should get to know science and astronomy in an entertaining way.
The Fondo de Desarrollo de Canarias (FDCAN) of the Canary Islands government is also involved. The Ayuntamiento de Pájara, the local council, supports the event on site.
Do you need to register or pay anything?
Participation is free, as the Cabildo de Fuerteventura expressly states. No admission price is mentioned in the announcement.
The published announcement does not mention registration, a booking requirement or a maximum number of participants. No age limit is given either.
No changes to prices, traffic, opening hours or local closures have been announced for visitors. The offer is expressly aimed at all age groups.
What remains open?
The published information contains no details about cancellation due to weather or an alternative date. No special rules for the night-time observation are mentioned either.
Details about the language of the shows and the accessibility of the marquee also remain open. Whether individual planetarium sessions will be limited if demand is high has not been published either.
How does the day fit into the 2026 series?
The event is part of a series that the Cabildo de Fuerteventura has offered several times in 2026. A similar event took place in Pájara on 18 August.
An edition was planned for Antigua on 20 October. On 12 August there was also an astronomical event in La Atalayita for the partial solar eclipse and the Perseids.
