Having narrowly escaped the clutches of their rival in the ancient streets of Toledo, Alejandro and his team, with the astrolabe in hand, now find themselves tracing the path to a remote area in the Pyrenees. The intricate device, with its celestial inscriptions, suggests that their next clue lies hidden within the rugged landscape, where the stars and mountains meet.
The Pyrenees, with their towering peaks and deep valleys, offer a majestic backdrop to the unfolding adventure. The natural beauty of the area, however, belies the challenges it presents, with the team needing to navigate not just the physical terrain but also the historical enigmas that the mountains guard.
Alejandro's skills are put to the test as he interprets the astrolabe's markings against the geographical features of the Pyrenees. His journey is one of synthesis, combining his cartographic expertise with the ancient astronomical knowledge embedded in the astrolabe.

Her journey is one of decryption, unraveling the historical and astronomical significance of these markers in relation to the astrolabe's secrets.
The episode reaches its pinnacle when the group discovers a secluded valley, where an ancient observatory, now in ruins, aligns perfectly with the celestial configurations indicated by the astrolabe. Within this forgotten site, they uncover a series of stone carvings that echo the symbols on the astrolabe, pointing to a hidden cave system known to locals as "the labyrinth of the stars."
However, their exploration is not without peril. The rival treasure hunter, ever persistent, has tracked them to the Pyrenees, setting the stage for a confrontation amidst the ancient ruins.
