💡 Tips
- Book early: Luxor and the Costa de la Luz will be among the most sought-after eclipse destinations of the decade.
- Seville (≈98%) and Madrid (≈86%) see only a partial eclipse — drive south into the path (computed).
- In Egypt, August midday heat is extreme: shade, water and sun protection matter as much as eclipse glasses.
- Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or solar filters for every partial phase; only remove them during totality.
