Total solar eclipse, 12 August 2026

Already happened, and that is the point: a trip we took, priced from the receipts rather than from a brochure.

Where we went

Spain

Northern Spain, where the 2026 shadow landed.

• Riaño — Totality at 9.5° above the horizon, and the contour line that decided it.

Before you pick a place

It is the same eclipse from every one of these places. What changes is what a bed costs on those nights, and that is the one comparison worth making first — every place we have priced, cheapest first. The place the headlines send you to is the one to avoid.
