The Aldeia do Xisto de Fajão welcomes another edition of Xclusive Xisto, with the program Capturing the Magic of the Universe, an immersive all-inclusive experience that invites participants to explore one of the darkest and most star-filled skies in Europe.
Over the course of three days, through night photography workshops, field outings, hands-on editing sessions, and cultural visits, the sky above Fajão becomes a true open-air laboratory — where learning to photograph stars is just the beginning. The stay also includes moments of conviviality around traditional mountain cuisine, with meals at local restaurants and charming accommodation.
