Torrevieja City Council’s Public Health Department has issued safety guidance for residents and visitors planning to watch the solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12. In Torrevieja, observers will experience an extremely deep partial eclipse, during which approximately 98.5% of the Sun will be obscured. Only specialist eclipse glasses certified to the international ISO 12312-2 safety standard should be used. Adults must ensure that eclipse glasses are worn correctly and that children do not look directly at the Sun without protection. Eclipse glasses alone do not make it safe to look through optical equipment, as concentrated sunlight could cause serious eye injuries and damage the device.
