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.
replyAs 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.
replySo, 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).
replyI'm in Valencia, planning to watch it from the beach.
replyAlso in Valencia and the beach is a great idea.
replyI'll go somewhere around Bilbao
replyColmenar Viejo seems a great spot ;)
replyOnly 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.
replyMountains close to leon?
