This date offers a unique opportunity to test viewing locations. Since the sun will be in a nearly identical position to that of August 12, 2026, residents can confirm if their chosen spot in Tarragona provides a clear view of the horizon, free from buildings or trees.
Safety remains the top priority. Experts emphasize using specialized eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard. Homemade filters, X-rays, or regular sunglasses are strictly discouraged as they do not provide adequate protection against solar radiation.
If you can see the sun from a specific point that day, you will also be able to perceive it on August 12.
For those using cameras or telescopes, a certified solar filter must be placed in front of the lens. Direct viewing without protection is only safe during the brief phase of totality, when the Moon completely obscures the solar disk.
