Enjoy a unique experience on the occasion of the Total Solar Eclipse on August 12, 2026, one of the most extraordinary natural phenomena visible in Europe in the coming decades. This excursion from Santiago de Compostela has been designed to combine heritage, culture, and nature, culminating in the observation of the eclipse from a privileged location facing the Atlantic Ocean.

The activity will begin with a coach departure from Santiago to A Coruña, a historic city closely linked to the sea. During the journey, the accompanying tour guide will explain in a simple way the astronomical phenomenon that we will witness and why Galicia will be one of the best places in the world to observe it.

Upon arrival, you will have free time in the Plaza de María Pita area, the heart of the city, where you can enjoy the local atmosphere and sample Galician cuisine in restaurants and at pavement tables in the historic centre.

Later, we will go on a guided walking tour through A Coruña, visiting some of its most emblematic sites, such as Plaza de María Pita, the galleries of the Marina, the harbour, and the Old Town, discovering the maritime and cultural history that defines the identity of A Coruña.

Next, we will head to Mount of San Pedro, one of the best vantage points in A Coruña and the spot selected for observing the eclipse thanks to its open horizon towards the ocean. There, you will receive approved sun protection glasses and a prior explanation to enjoy the phenomenon in complete safety.

As the afternoon progresses, the light will begin to transform until reaching the culminating moment: the totality of the solar eclipse, when the Moon will completely cover the Sun, creating a unique atmosphere over the Atlantic, which also coincides with the sunset.

After this unforgettable experience, we will begin the return trip to Santiago de Compostela.
