Ler\u00edn<\/strong> is a small village with medieval origins in the west of Navarre. What particularly draws attention to this village is that in 2021 it became the first village in Spain with the certification \u201cStarlight\u201d<\/strong>. The inhabitants of Ler\u00edn have worked for years to spread astronomy and reduce light pollution in the village. This is therefore the perfect destination for astrotourism in Navarre.<\/p>\n

Starlight certification<\/h3>\n

The Starlight certification, awarded by the Starlight Foundation, is aimed at small villages with their own identity and predominantly rural character, which wish to diversify their economy through the development of astrotourism, with the goal of promoting sustainable economic growth in the area and preventing depopulation. In addition, a Starlight destination must be an ideal place to view the starry sky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What to see in Lerin<\/h3>\n

Besides a beautiful starry sky, this small village has several decorated and some noble houses. Among them, the parish house stands out, a baroque building from the mid-18th century with rococo shields on the Plaza de los Fueros<\/em>. On Larramendi Street, there is another interesting building: a country house with prints from the 18th century.<\/p>\n

The Fuerte Cazorla<\/em> is the only historical building, apart from the church, that has been preserved in Ler\u00edn. Although its construction is relatively recent (1875), it is a good example of Navarre's historic military architecture. In addition, it is also the highest point of Ler\u00edn, from which the entire village can be admired.<\/p>\n
