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? :)

davidricodias•1h ago

Colmenar Viejo seems a great spot ;)

embedding-shape•1h ago

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.

Mountains close to leon?

iancuandrei•53m ago

I'll go somewhere around Bilbao

Al-Khwarizmi•39m ago

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).

egesko•27m ago

I'm in Valencia, planning to watch it from the beach.

xanthine•1h ago

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

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?

rob74•47m ago

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.

voidUpdate•40m ago

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

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.

Really cool. I'm quite curious as to where the webcam data came from, as it seems to be from various websites/sources.

Sierra de Guadarrama - Puerto de Cotos https://www.infonieve.es/espacio-nordico/puerto-de-cotos/web... looks decent, different views, good weather.

I took my kids out of school and took an unplanned day off work in the middle of an important meeting series to drive 5 hours west from Virginia to Ohio to see the last eclipse. The schools and my boss were both yelling at me, both saying the eclipse wasn't a good enough excuse. I'm sorry, but it definitely was. I am so glad I did that. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Uncle_Brumpus•33m ago

I drove ~3 hours to the Vermont-Canada border... and then drove 14 hours home. I'd also do it again in a heartbeat.

I almost signed up for a live-work program for a big music festival happening in Iceland, but the flights (the only thing not covered) were astronomically expensive and I had already made plans with my dad last weekend, and he's getting older so I really didn't want to bail on him.

I would love to sit atop the Rock of Gibraltar (with 47,000 other people) for the next one, Aug 2 2027, but that is likely also a pipe-dream, because NORMAL flights to Gibraltar are already too expensive for me.

alnwlsn•19m ago

Both myself and my boss took off work to see the last one. Though unplanned it was not, as eclipses can be predicted centuries in advance. I knew I would see it before even working there.

Nice page showing where it will be, with times and visualizations for any point/city.

LawrenceKerr•47m ago

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.

benoliver999•43m ago

Surely the smart money is to go to Spain

embedding-shape•39m ago

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

MadrasTh0rn•43m ago

Very cool

NKosmatos•38m ago

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 ;-)

Living in Vancouver, I traveled to Toronto to watch the Eclipse in 2024. We faced a nasty cloud, and had to drive hundreds of kilometers (hundreds of miles) to get a reasonably good view. On the drive back I decided that I'll travel for the one that's happening today, and here I am, in Sierra, with some cool people.

Solar eclipses happen rarely enough, and frequently enough, to act as milestones in my life: I can review what happened since the previous one, and make a plan for the next one.

They are some of the most magnificent natural phenomena, much more interesting than what's expected.

The only other one that I got to see in perfect conditions was in my home town, Isfahan in 1999. I hope this one is perfectly clear again, and I have some resolutions for the next one.

jonty•30m ago

This is mine! Built it quickly in 2024 for the US eclipse [1] and finished minutes before totality started.

I completely forgot about it until a friend asked this morning. Coordinating a DDOS on cameras across Iceland and Spain was not on my to-do list for today.

Fingers crossed it doesn't break for you all - I will be watching it with my own eyes this time.

Some of the webcams doesn't work, for example in Torreblanca, Castellón. I guess it's normal

lifestyleguru•20m ago

I'm declaring that sun will die a over northern Spain and western Iceland by the end of the day.

hno8a34nwn•16m ago

Was just dealing with this yesterday

rimworld•15m ago

cool -thx

christkv•14m ago

We are going to get the full solar eclipse, but to be honest I'm going to enjoy the transitions more than the actual eclipse itself. It's not like the glasses will give you a great view of the actual sun itself compared to a live professional camera setup so I'll be having the tv on to se the "filtered" view of the sun directly instead of trying to stare at it. I'll peak a glance once in awhile.

gillesjacobs•13m ago

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.

dorienh•10m ago

Sad to be in Singapore where eclipse is not visible!

fxn•8m ago

On a Virgin cruise near Ibiza, getting ready for it before sunset. Anyone else in the cruise say hello!

Longwelwind•7m ago

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

rythmshifter•7m ago

I get access blocked errors all over the screen

rythmshifter•7m ago

I get "access blocked, referer is required" errors tiled all over the screen

dolmen•6m ago

Don't bother looking at Iceland: weather is awful right now.
