Hi,
I'm doing a trip to Spain to see the solar eclipse in the area where the eclipse is full. I had driven all day and now I'm at the hotel. I had a shower and I'm going to sleep because it's 00:49 AM.
Good night. I always sleep like this.
Good morning guys
The weather is cloudy today. I'll move to the center line of the eclipse, 4 hours of drive. I checked the weather forecast, it should be sunny without clouds.
My hotel is located in the village O Poto De Espasante, the eclipse will be full here but not as long as if you are in the center line of the eclipse.
You are on the other side of this ocean!
Hi Jesus,
I hope that you get good weather for the eclipse day itself. That sky doesn’t look particularly promising in this photo, and I sure hope that it clears up in time. We have excellent weather here in Nova Scotia, but the coverage is only around 35%, so I won’t bother. We had perfect weather for the big one in 2024, but my city just missed totality, and it was around 95% here. It was still worth having the eclipse glasses for that one. There was totality in the next province over, New Brunswick, and there were crowds and eclipse parties.
Edited. I see that you’re driving to a more favourable location, and 4 hours is worth it for the event of a lifetime!
Good luck today!

Two hours to wait until the first contact when the Moon begins to hide the Sun. I'm in the middle of the fields, it reminds me the landscapes of the Aéotrain.

Hi Jesus,
The weather looks perfect, very promising!
David
It begins
It was an unbelievable experience!
Hi Jesus,
Wow, just wow, so you had perfect weather and got to experience it in all its glory! Stunning! I’m really regretting not making the 4 hour drive to New Brunswick in 2024. Although Halifax had 95% or so, and it was fun to follow with my eclipse glasses, it wasn’t nearly the same as experiencing totality in all its glory.

Wow very nice good idea to travel there. Thank you for sharing.
I was not able to travel there, from my country it was nearly complete but the difference with a full eclipse is very big.
Luckily I travelled to France in 1999 and saw the full eclipse then.
