People from all over the world will flock to northern Spain next week in the hope of witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime experience: a total solar eclipse.
However the total eclipse in Spain -- the first visible in mainland Europe this century -- is an easier trip than some in the past.
"A total eclipse is not something you see, it's something you experience," he told AFP.
'Breath-taking'For next week's eclipse, Jenny Winker, a 60-year-old retiree in St Paul, Minnesota, is travelling to northern Spain with nine other family members.
Some chasers are already planning for a total eclipse next year that will be the longest humans will be able to see until 2114.
