AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoTotal Solar Eclipse: Day briefly turned to night across northern Spain as a rare total solar eclipse swept the country, with crowds in places like Buitrago de Lozoya cheering as the sky dimmed and “Baily’s beads” appeared just after 8:30pm, lasting under a minute; Spain’s first total eclipse in more than a century drew millions and came with a major public-safety push amid wildfire risk. Iceland Glimpses: In Iceland, overcast skies blunted views, but a break in clouds let some people in western areas—including near Reykjavik’s Hallgrímskirkja—see totality and feel the “everything went black” moment. Tourism & Costs: The eclipse triggered a travel surge and sharp hotel price spikes in Iceland and northern Spain, with Reykjavik rates reported above $1,000 per night as visitors chased the narrow path of totality. Security on the Ground: Spain deployed a large police operation and set up special viewing spots, with officials warning crowds to avoid risky behavior during hot, dry conditions.
