  "account": "Almería's 2027 total solar eclipse is causing a surge in hotel prices and demand, far exceeding typical August rates. Hotels and rural properties across Andalucía are filling up more than a year before the event, with early occupancy for the two eclipse nights already at around 12 per cent in some areas. The Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, offering clear skies, low light pollution, and an open Mediterranean horizon, has become a primary destination for eclipse chasers, photographers, and tourists. Prices for accommodations near the eclipse path are skyrocketing, with some properties in Bolonia near Tarifa already listing at €10,000 per night. Local tourism voices view the event as an economic opportunity, potentially sparking a longer-term astrotourism trail through the natural park. British holidaymakers and second-home owners are advised to book early or rent out properties if visiting, as prices have already risen sharply along the totality path.",
