Cornwall was horrendous in 99, although in Perranporth the cloud cover moved just before the start of the eclipse, so could see it all.

Just before sunset. had a look and anyone staying on the east side of Ibiza might miss it due to the hills, so decent planning is in order! If I can book early and afford it, La Savina on Formentera should do the job with about a minute's totality. However more inclined to stay (if there's room) in or around Madrid and take the train a few miles to the east for totality. Madrid is right on the edge.
TBH the northern coast of Mallorca looks the perfect spot!!

Not sure, but would you get the red sunset sky around the eclipse, then back to daylight again? Will be fascinating to see.
August 2026 Eclipse...Sponsored by....Ibiza is just not the same any more. I'm old enough to remember the peak of the day eclipses, none of these modern sunset eclipses that they have now. Everyone will just have their phones out instead of enjoying the moment!
