This is great, can easily see what spots are overfilled with people or not :) I'm still thinking about where exactly I'll go to see it, was thinking Calafell or Vilanova as they're nearby and easily accessible, but probably half of Barcelona thinks the same so better to go a bit inland. Probably I'll end up just outside Lleida I think.

Any more Spanish HNers (or temporary visitors) who are going to any specific places to see it? :)

A little too late to travel from Barcelona, but anywhere in the province of Teruel or the east part of Guadalajara is inside totality area, will have great weather, clear skies and is endemically underpopulated, so, even with eclipse-chasers coming for the occasion, it will be orders of magnitude less crowded than the coast.

As for myself, I'll be watching it from here: https://theeclipse.app/2026-total/maps/default?lng=-3.562706...

Free bonus: These areas are generally quite high over sea level (like ~1000m or so) and have very low light contamination, so the night sky is great.

So, if you wait 3-4 hours after the eclipse, you'll be able to enjoy a great moonless sky, with plenty of stars, the Milky Way and, hopefully, some Perseids!!

I'm from A Coruña so I should be able to just go down to the street, walk like 100 m and see it. I just hope clouds don't spoil the show (at the moment it's looking good, but here you never know).

Also in Valencia and the beach is a great idea.

Only 7 hours away :D I'm in the Maresme area, so probably will end up between València and Tarragona on some mountain :) Thanks for the tip though, I'll forward it to my Madrid friends.

Thanks for posting this, most of us won’t be able to view the eclipse but having a few webcams really helps to get the feeling!

Hoping to be able to see the great eclipse of 2027 live ;-)

Extremely happy to live in a place where vision is perfect and with a clear day. Going out for a walk soon to find a quiet spot and enjoy.

Doesn't seem like the best of weather now in Iceland, hopefully it clears up. Otherwise it would suck for the people who have planned the trip months if not years in advance only to get a clouded sky, but that's always the risk with astrotravel.

Currently in Keflavík, it is very wet, but I can see a pocket of blue sky in the clouds.

My trip coincides, I’ve been camping across the country and the rain has followed me across the whole island

It has been an incredible trip

Edit: it was rainy and cloudy but still so cool!

Yes, we travelled to Cornwall in 1999 but it was cloudy. Got a marvellous view in Oregon in 2017 though. A friend of mine travels to all the solar eclipses he can wherever they are in the world. That's a bit too obsessive for me though. I'm in Devon this time but only 95% cover.

Surely the smart money is to go to Spain

We do get cloudy days too sometimes :) Although today it is looking fairly sunny all over the place: https://i.imgur.com/4LK7xo8.png

I'm watching that one in Egypt.

Cool, there is no check on the direction of the camera. Various camera's I checked do not seem to point in the direction of the sun during totality. It does filter candidate cameras down though.

Sorry for my ignorance, but can someone please explain what I'm looking at here?

About five hours from now, the sections of Europe indicated on the map will experience a total solar eclipse, with other regions of the continent experiencing a partial one.

The map shows feeds to watch it.

Today there is a eclipse, the map shows where the eclipse will be. In the path of the eclipse, there are also a ton of live webcams, and this map shows those and let you preview the webcams. Does it make sense now?

Even more specifically, it will start off over Greenland, continue over western Iceland and then finish with the sunset in northeastern Spain and the Balearic Islands.

If you pan to the right, it shows that it actually starts in a bit of russia

That area (Taymyr Peninsula) looks crazy remote and inaccessible. It would be wild to be there, let alone experience an eclipse there. I think it might even be illegal to do so without a permit, though I'm also curious what enforcement looks like in an area so far from what we think of as normal infrastructure.

It’s like kik or twitch stream but for nerds (that’s us btw), the live stream is a bunch of live cameras in different cities/countries, these locations today will experience something called totality sun eclipse, it’s when the sun is totally covered, day turns to night, and you see a pretty yet scary ring in the sky instead, it lasts for minutes at best, and it’s a really cool thing to witness in person, but in case you can’t, at least you see it through someone’s lens in a live stream, like that site!

Does anyone know if there will be any live feed of the earth viewed from space during the eclipse?
