Hello whoever stumbles upon this post!

Looking for advice and ideas. 11/08/2026 will travel to Porto, Portugal with a plan to get a rental and travel to Spain. Idea is to find a hotel somewhere between Porto, Portugal and Leon, Spain and on the big day travel somewhere around Leon to find a viewing area.

Maybe someone could advise how to really choose a viewing spot? Is getting snacks and parking on random roadside would be a good idea? Never been to Spain, so had to imagine what to expect!

Yeah, true. No plans yet, waiting on last minute stuff because of finances. If anything, I'll probably just find stuff to eat, and places to walk to, in Reykjavík. I want to go to Skrímslasetrið - The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum, because that sounds awesome!

that does sounds awesome!

Honestly, there are no big plans for me too. Main thing is to go there, have snacks, see eclipse,go home, Everything else is extra.
