The Roque de los Muchachos is one of the best places to observe the night sky and main base of the European Northern Observatory.
It was impressive experience to spend the night on the top of the 2450m high Volcano and in between observatories like Galileo Galilel, William Herschel, Isaac Newton or the GTC.
