A unique activity in the Vigo estuary that combines astronomy, nature and navigation to give you an unforgettable night.
What are the tears of San Lorenzo?
Every summer, between August 10 and 20, the Earth crosses the wake of comet Swift-Tuttle, generating one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year.

- Catamaran sailing in the Vigo or Pontevedra estuary.
