To provide accurate, up-to-date information, the IEEC \u2013 in partnership with the Government of Catalonia via the Ministry for Research and Universities \u2013 has created an interactive visibility map. Below, you can consult this map, which allows you to clearly and precisely identify the areas where the eclipse will be observable under the best conditions and plan your experience accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n
