Total solar eclipse in Spain: an astronomical journey with Astroverts

Astroverts invites you to take part in a unique astronomical tour of Europe in the summer of 2026 — "Total solar eclipse in Spain".

 

The trip will take place from August 7 to August 16, 2026 and will be timed to coincide with one of the main astronomical events of the year — the total solar eclipse, which will occur on August 12, 2026.

 

The main astronomical event of the year

 

A total solar eclipse is a rare and spectacular phenomenon when the moon completely covers the sun's disk, and for a few minutes the day turns into twilight. In 2026, the eclipse will take place, among other things, along Spain.

 

Spain was not chosen by chance: it is expected to have some of the best conditions for observation, a high probability of clear weather and convenient accessibility for tour participants.

 

The special feature of the trip is the opportunity to observe the eclipse not just from an open area, but in an unusual historical atmosphere: from a medieval Spanish castle.

 

Perseid observation from a 14th century castle

 

The tour dates also have a maximum of the famous Perseid meteor shower. This is one of the most beautiful and popular stargazing events of the year.

 

The tour participants will be able to observe the Perseids from a real 14th century castle, where accommodation will be arranged. This combination of medieval architecture, the Spanish summer sky, telescopes and meteors makes the trip not just an excursion, but a real astronomical expedition.

 

What awaits the participants of the tour

 

The travel program will be full of astronomy, observations and excursions. 

Participants are expected to:

• observing a total solar eclipse;
• observation of the Perseid meteor shower;
• accommodation in a medieval Spanish castle;
• telescope observations;
• astronomical lectures;
• master classes in astronomy;
• the excursion program;
• communication with like-minded people and lovers of the starry sky.

 

The tour is suitable for those who are already interested in astronomy, as well as for those who want to see rare celestial phenomena for the first time, accompanied by experienced organizers.
