Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The solar eclipse on August 12 will offer an unequal spectacle, depending on the point in Spain from which it is observed.

In the rest of the country, the phenomenon will be partial, with different degrees of occultation depending on the location.

The enabled spaces are places that combine good visibility of the sky, low probability of cloudiness at that time of year and suitable conditions to follow the eclipse safely. EL PAÍS has compiled, to date, 190 official sites that can be consulted in this piece.
