Thank you for your inquiry about our “Eclipse – August 12th, 2026: A journey through history and wine” experience.

Due to the uniqueness of the eclipse, many accommodations in the area are already fully booked, so this is a truly special opportunity to combine two unforgettable experiences: walking the Camino de Santiago and witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event in one of Spain’s most historic cities.

Your trip includes:

Hand-picked accommodation in a private room with private bathroom
Luggage transfer while walking (one bag per person, 20kg max; optional opt-out)
Online pre-departure briefing with one of our Camino experts
Downloadable detailed walking notes or guidebook
Downloadable hotel vouchers with location maps
Access to our exclusive Camino app
Pilgrim passport
24/7 support service during your trip
Free carbon offset contribution to certified UN-approved environmental projects — 100% covered by Follow the Camino

Please note: While we've chosen a location known for great eclipse visibility, the experience will ultimately depend on the weather, something none of us can control. We can’t guarantee clear skies on the day, and Follow the Camino can’t be held responsible if clouds or other conditions affect the view. Fingers crossed for sunshine!
