The Spanish government's Interministerial Commission for the Eclipse Trio convened on Thursday to coordinate preparations and organizational efforts for the upcoming total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, which is being referred to as the 'eclipse of the century.' Chaired by Juan Cruz Cigudosa, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation, and Universities, the committee is tasked with overseeing the nationwide response and logistical planning.
During the same meeting, the commission reviewed impact reports from a previous solar eclipse in August, noting that the event generated 26 million additional trips compared to normal daily travel volumes. These figures serve as a baseline for coordinating public safety, infrastructure, and transport logistics ahead of the 2027 celestial event.
