Project Greenland/Spain 2026
Total Solar Eclipse Itineraries

We are aware of the media coverage of wildfires in parts of France and Spain and the concern this can cause. Our agents in various parts of the country are monitoring the situation and keeping us informed if they believe there will be any effect on your tour programme. We are assured that all parts of the itineraries are not affected by the fires and we do not expect any change, therefore we can confirm that your tour will go ahead as planned. It is possible there may be changes or substitutions to some excursions if there is concern about local air quality and you will be advised of this during your tour. Air quality in the main cities is reported as remaining relatively normal by our agents in Spain.

 

We understand there are about a dozen small fires remaining from a larger fire in a forest around 30km from Siguenza which is now under control and is not expected to affect eclipse observation. The original smoke has now dispersed.

To quote Jay Anderson (https://eclipsophile.com/) on SEML (Solar Eclipse Mailing List) 27th July 2026:-

 

"It's way too early to worry about the weather and fires. A look at today's satellite pictures shows almost no appreciable smoke over the northern half of the track. On the other hand, the smoke from the big fire north of Madrid is now affecting areas to the south in contrast to yesterday's easterly impact. It's barely impacting the eclipse track. Yesterday's smoke is thinning and mostly drifted out into the Med toward the Balearic Islands. In other words, today's smoke doesn't say much about eclipse day, just as yesterday's didn't say a lot about today. By eclipse day, some or many of the fires may be contained, or there may be more if Friday's thunderstorms materialize."
