Total Eclipse in Spain
Experience the Magic in the Vineyard
Day Tour from Madrid • August 12, 2026
The Total Solar Eclipse in Spain on August 12, 2026 is one of the most highly anticipated astronomical events of the decade. As the moon passes directly between the earth and the sun, daylight will give way to darkness across parts of Spain, creating a breathtaking celestial spectacle.
Join Savitar Tours for a day of Spanish gastronomy, landscapes, wine, and history in the Ribera del Duero region, culminating in a guided eclipse-viewing experience from a historic castle esplanade alongside an astronomy expert.
11:00 — Depart Madrid for the Ribera del Duero region, celebrated for its vineyards, castles, and historic sites, and recognized as one of Spain's nine most renowned winemaking areas.
13:00 — Arrive at Prado Rey, a prominent Ribera del Duero winery. Enjoy a gourmet lunch at the winery, set in a 17th-century palace built by the Duke of Lerma to host King Philip III, followed by a walk through the vineyards and rolling hillside views.
Next — Continue to Aranda de Duero, the heart of Ribera del Duero, to explore its underground wine caves — more than 120 tunnels dating to the 16th century — followed by a walking tour of the historic town center, including a visit to a private underground cellar.
Afternoon — Arrive in Peñaranda de Duero, a picturesque town known for its well-preserved medieval architecture. Enjoy a traditional local dinner in the village before an introduction to the science behind the upcoming solar eclipse.
19:30 — Eclipse observation begins from the castle esplanade, surrounded by vineyards and free of light pollution, guided by an astronomy expert. The experience lasts 60–90 minutes and covers the astronomical mysteries behind eclipses, why they don't occur every month, and history's most remarkable eclipses and their impact on civilizations.
21:30 — Depart for Madrid, with arrival back in the city around 23:30.
