The astronomical event was followed with interest by residents and visitors in various areas of Maresme and Selva. People sought elevated points and areas with clear views to contemplate the eclipse, which appeared partially in the region.
Weather conditions ultimately influenced the experience. As the event progressed, the appearance of clouds began to hinder visibility, making it difficult to clearly follow the final moments of the phenomenon.
In La Selva, locations such as Sant Joan Castle or Santa Bàrbara in Blanes were chosen for their prime positions. In Sils, nearly five hundred people gathered around the church of Santa Eulàlia to observe the eclipse.
In El Maresme, the castle of Palafolls and the Turó de la Guàrdia in Pineda were other selected sites. In Santa Susanna, the Mar d’Estiu festival provided free certified glasses to attendees for safe viewing.
Despite the challenges posed by clouds during the latter half of the event, the eclipse mobilized many people to seek open spaces. In other parts of Catalonia, particularly in the south, thousands of citizens also gathered in areas prepared for observation.
