Total Solar Eclipse – Spain

ABOUT THE TOUR

Led by Curator of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, and Adjunct Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University, Michael Shera (bio below). Join us in northern Spain in 2026 to experience a Total Solar Eclipse as it sweeps across the Iberian Peninsula. Our exclusive viewing location aligns closely with the eclipse’s path of totality, plunging us into total eclipse darkness for one minute and thirteen seconds. What’s more, with 2026 marking the peak solar activity in the Sun’s eleven year cycle, the extent of the elusive solar corona may be at its stunning best. As this Total Solar Eclipse is happening just one hour before sunset, the Moon’s shadow will overtake us from horizonto-horizon with breathtaking speed, travelling faster than 4,000 miles-perhour. Our eclipse experience will end with a marvelous sunset view of the Moon’s “last bite” of the Sun, hovering just over the local horizon.

 

Starting at $9,990 per person plus airfare and taxes.
