Part 2: The Observatory is Born — Foundations and Structure (August 21–29, 2025)
After the demolition of the old stables, the most exciting moment of the project arrives: beginning to build the astronomical observatory.
In this second part, I describe how we prepared the foundations and the central column, the true heart of the observatory, and how Beatriz added her personal touch by creating an access path.
Finally, between August 28 and 29, 2025, the dream began to take shape with the erection of the walls and the installation of the gate.
