The skies above the Canary Islands are set to host one of the year’s most varied astronomical spectacles in the next couple of weeks. On the night of 27th June, no fewer than four meteor showers will coincide: the Tau Cetids, Scutids, Rho Sagittarids and the June Bootids.

Although each of these showers typically produces low or irregular activity, their simultaneous appearance makes this one of the most dynamic nights in the astronomical Calendar.

The Bootids, radiating from the constellation Boötes, home to the bright star Arcturus, are particularly unpredictable, with rates varying widely from zero to as many as 100 meteors per hour.

The other showers contribute more modest numbers: the Tau Cetids, originating from the constellation Cetus, usually offer around four meteors per hour; the Scutids, with a mere two, emanate from the faint and hard-to-spot constellation Scutum; and the Rho Sagittarids radiate from Sagittarius, rounding out this quadruple display.

Adding to the spectacle, the event will coincide with a conjunction between the Moon and Mercury, visible in the early hours of the same day.

How and When to Observe the Meteor Showers in the Canary Islands

The meteor showers will be active from 22nd June to 2nd July, with the peak expected during the early hours of 27th June. In the Canary Islands, the optimal viewing time is around 4:00am, when the radiant point of the Bootids remains above the horizon.

No telescopes or binoculars are required to enjoy the display. For the best experience, observers are advised to:

Move away from urban areas to avoid light pollution.
Choose a dark, clear location with an unobstructed view of the sky.
Lie back or recline, looking towards the northeast.
Avoid observing when the Moon is high, as its brightness can diminish the visibility of fainter meteors.
More Showers at the End of the Month

The end of June will bring further, albeit low-activity, meteor showers. On 29th June, three additional showers — the Beta Taurids, Phi Ophiuchids and Tau Aquarids — will occur, each producing around two meteors per hour. Some of these may be visible during daylight hours, making them more challenging to observe.

Favourable Weather conditions across the Canary Islands could significantly enhance visibility for what promises to be a rare and diverse astronomical event.

Hi, 

There is a strange man who walk around Corralejo covered in fake tan and oil every night. He has jet black hair and looks a bit like Aladdin. He walks with a proper swagger. If you have seen him you will know exactly who I am referring to. 

Does anyone know his name or his insta handle??

Are there any naturists group activities happening in Fuerteventura between the 7th and 12th of June? It would be great to meet up with some like minded people for a few hours

I’m hoping someone can help me find a hotel, in Corralejo or close to, where you can eat breakfast outside rather than in the restaurant. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi all, first off I’m don’t consider myself a naturist in the sense of spending time with other naturists or being part of a club etc. I’m not even sure if there’s a big scene here in Ireland, but I do obviously enjoy being naked  , so I’ll be spending a week in Corralejo in June with my family who don’t know about my interest in naturism so I’m hoping to slip away for a few hours on my own and spend some time naked on the beach. Are there any dedicated naturists areas close to Corralejo? I’m interested in dedicated areas because I’m not quite sure if I’m ready to be the only naked guy on a beach, not just yet anyway    . Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi You Hi all. 
I will be in Costa Calma in a week or so. 
I am just wondering what the rules are if you book a massage, are you nude or leave undies on. Just don’t want to look a fool. Lol

I wrote to Contact Us because my alerts will not open when clicked on and I did not receive a reply. The problem with my alerts is still there. Is anyone monitoring this site?

Hellooo,

Myself and my friends are planning on renting a villa in Corralejo in May, the flights and villa prices are perfect for us but only downside is no pool/billiards table (we really love playing pool) 

Any chance anyone knows places you can just rent a pool table for a week or so? 

Thank you

Closed today. Is it closed every Tuesday?

OK, it has been open again since just before Christmas but I would just like to remind people on here for those that are not aware of this restaurant.
This is our 'goto' place when we want a nice meal, which is nearly every week at the moment.
Not the biggest menu choice, but usually go for the fillet steak anyway as it is fabulous.
They do excellent pasta as well.
