☀️🌑I'm writing a feature on travelling to Spain next August for the total solar eclipse. If there are any eclipse-relevant PRs, brands, astronomers, tour companies or hotels in my network that I haven't already connected with, I'd like to hear about special events, packages, offers, tours & advice!

Good luck!
