Millions across the nation are turning their attention skyward today as Spain witnesses its first total solar eclipse in over a century. The rare celestial event has prompted extensive preparations for public viewing, alongside warnings about mobility challenges and increased risks of fires due to large gatherings and travel.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Ceuta crisis continues to see new developments. Reports suggest alleged Moroccan reprisals for a leaked secret, while the Spanish government is signaling a tougher stance on migrant reception in the autonomous city. Efforts to resolve the crisis are reportedly complicated by a new law, as Moroccan authorities also tighten surveillance near the border.
Separately, a significant wildfire originating in Niebla has spread into Seville province and remains uncontained after five nights, with over 600 emergency personnel battling the blaze that has already consumed 25,000 hectares.
