Every autumn, the Parc Astronòmic del Montsec turns its planetarium into a concert hall. Música sota les estrelles brings together a small concert, with the audience around the musicians, sky observation with the Parc's astronomers and a tasting of local produce. In 2026 it is in its sixteenth edition. It takes about three hours, costs €39 and is recommended from age 10. Everything is in Catalan.
What remains of 2026
The cycle began in September with Els Amics de les Arts and continued with Tomeu Penya and Lluís Sánchez. Two nights remain:
- Saturday 21 November: Elèctrica Dharma, with La Dharma a un pam, an intimate format in which the audience surrounds the band. Two sessions: at 19:00, with the tasting at 20:00, and at 21:00, with the tasting at 22:00.
- Saturday 12 December: Meritxell and Judit Neddermann, with Bella Aurora, Christmas songs reinterpreted for voice, piano and the two sisters' harmonies. Sessions at 18:00 and 19:00, with the tasting at 20:00 and 21:00.
Concert, sky and tasting
The stage is L'Ull del Montsec, the 12-metre mobile-dome planetarium. After the concert come the astronomical projections and the sky observation. The tasting, new this year, is called G-Astronòmic: sweet and savoury, served on the Parc's Plaça de l'Harmonia. The website does not detail which products are included. The €39 ticket includes everything; the website gives only this general rate.
What to know about the Parc
The Parc is on the Coll d'Ares track, about 3.5 km from the centre of Àger. You can only get there by car or by chartered coach; it has visitor parking, also for motorhomes, but you cannot spend the night there. There is no bar or café, only machines with cold drinks and some snacks, so dinner is separate. The facilities are wheelchair accessible, with reserved parking spaces and a ramp to the planetarium. Pets do not enter.
If it is cloudy, the Parc keeps the session: when live observation is not possible, it shows images taken by its telescopes on clear nights. Bad weather gives no right to a change of date or a refund, and tickets are non-refundable; in case of illness or force majeure, you must write to them and they will look at the case.
Staying the night
With sessions finishing after ten or eleven, the sensible thing is to stay in Àger. Cal Maciarol is a kilometre from the Parc and serves dinners, and the Hotel Espai d'Estels, in the village, has suites for four. In the morning, the Collegiate Church of Sant Pere can be visited with a guide from the old town.
Tips
- Buy as soon as you have the date There are one or two sessions a night and few nights a year.
- Coat and closed shoes The Parc asks for them even in spring and summer; in November and December, in the mountains, even more so.
