The town is the gateway to Mirador del Balcón, and it takes just 15 minutes to climb the winding mountain roads in your SUV to reach 357 metres above sea level.At the top of the cliff, you'll settle into the Mirador del Balcón viewpoint and watch the eclipse begin at around 7.00pm. As you look out over the Atlantic Ocean, you'll see the famous line of spine-like, jagged coastal cliffs known as the ‘Dragon's Tail'. With your protective glasses on, you'll watch as the eclipse hits its peak before raising a glass of cava to toast this incredible celestial event. Your guide will offer commentary to explain the science and significance behind what you're watching and will even have some premium chocolates to hand out to top off the experience. The eclipse ends at around 8.45pm and after the sun drops into the Atlantic beyond the cliffs, you'll be whisked back to your hotel between 10.00pm and 11.00pm.
