Hey everyone!
I’m planning my very first total eclipse trip for August 12, 2026, and I’m pretty hyped so I wanted to get your feedback about my plan. As I am the most invested in my small group I also became the reluctant leader of the group, so I want to make sure I don't mess it up!

My plan is to head to A Coruña, Spain. Based on research (website: treseclipses.es), I was thinking the area around the “Tower of Hercules” might be an good spot. It seems elevated, and the eclipse should happen over the ocean so there should be no obstructions. Does anyone familiar with the area agree, or are there better nearby locations/recommendations?

Quick safety check: I’ve read online that during the short window of totality, it’s safe to take off eclipse glasses and view the Sun with the naked eye. Can anyone confirm if this is safe and common practice?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Anyone planning to be in Guadalajara? Me and my friends bought train tickets from Madrid but I realized it’s to and from the YEBES station. Anyone know how the logistics work for getting to the main city from Guadalajara-Yebes? Google Maps suggests taxi is the only way but don’t wanna depend on taxis on eclipse day

Seeing that most of the posts here are for Spain. I wanted to see who's crazy as me to try catching the eclipse in Iceland?
