The trip to Islantilla organised by Palomares del Río delays its return to 20:45 hours so that participants can view the solar eclipse on August 12 by the sea.

The trip to Islantilla organised by the Palomares del Río Town Hall will experience a special day tomorrow, Wednesday: the return is delayed until 20:45 hours so that participants can enjoy the solar eclipse on August 12 from the sand, rather than from the bus.

The moment of greatest obscuration in the Islantilla area, on the Huelva coast, is expected to occur at approximately 20:30 hours, just before the new departure time. Thus, attendees will have the opportunity to observe the phenomenon by the sea, according to the Palomares Town Hall.

The organisers remind everyone that one should never look directly at the Sun during an eclipse. To observe it safely, it is essential to use certified eclipse glasses, as conventional sunglasses do not protect the eyes from this phenomenon.

The trip to Islantilla is scheduled for tomorrow morning, and the new return time only affects the return journey. The Town Hall encourages participants to protect themselves from the sun, stay hydrated, and enjoy the day responsibly.

This modification turns the excursion into an unexpected plan that combines sun, beach, and astronomy, a unique opportunity for the residents of Palomares del Río who have signed up for this summer activity.
