Witness the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse in Style

On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will captivate northern regions as the moon fully obscures the sun, creating a mesmerizing celestial display.

Forward-thinking travelers are already securing their spots for this rare event. The path of totality, where the sun is completely blocked, will sweep across Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, and Northern Spain. This northern trajectory means most of the world won’t witness the spectacle, making these destinations prime for adventure seekers.

Cycling the Camino de Santiago

ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours, a family-owned company from Italy, presents a 15-day Cycling the Camino de Santiago journey, perfectly timed for the 2026 eclipse. Starting in Roncesvalles and ending in Santiago, this trip offers over a minute of totality viewing. Founded in 1972 by Rick and Paola Malpezzi-Price, and now led by their daughters, Maria Elena and Monica, the company specializes in immersive bike tours across Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. This unique pilgrimage combines the historic Camino route with the awe-inspiring eclipse.

The journey begins in Pamplona on August 10, 2026, with a shuttle to Roncesvalles to visit the 13th-century monastery, the traditional Camino starting point. The next day, cyclists descend along the Iratí River, stopping at the 12th-century Romanesque Church of Santa María Eunate. On August 12, guests stay at the historic Hotel Castillo El Collado in Laguardia, a medieval hilltop town with panoramic views. The eclipse begins around 7:30 PM, reaching totality for over a minute, an unforgettable moment described by Maria Elena Price as “mythic” and transformative.

Hilltop Winery Eclipse Viewing

Wilderness Travel offers an exclusive 2026 eclipse program on Spain’s Iberian Peninsula, in the path of totality. Guests will enjoy a private viewing at a hilltop winery in Lerma, a ducal palace built for King Felipe III, selected with meteorologist Jay Anderson for optimal weather and views. Renowned astronomer Dr. Alex Filippenko curates insightful lectures on cosmic phenomena. The low-horizon eclipse, just before sunset, will feature intensified colors and elongated shadow bands, enhancing the experience. Guests will also savor local culture, history, cuisine, and wine throughout the itinerary.
