€3,000-a-night apartments listed on Granada’s Costa Tropical for the 2027 eclipse

Apartment rentals in Granada's Costa Tropical are being advertised at staggering prices for the total solar eclipse on August 1 and 2, 2027. The cost per night ranges from €800 to over €3,000, while villas are listed above €5,000. This date is referred to as the "eclipse of the century," with totality expected around 10:30am and four minutes of darkness in prime coastal areas.

Hoteliers' association president Jesus Megias confirms that August 2027 will likely be fully booked, similar to previous years. Regular Spanish guests, particularly families, are the main market and tend to return to the same dates annually. Some towns, like Cerro Gordo, experienced high demand despite missing the eclipse this time, leading to road closures and increased civil protection efforts.

Despite similar prices in Almeria, Costa Tropical's demand appears slower, possibly due to curiosity about the rare celestial event.
