Mallorca prepares for solar eclipse – military deployed

On August 12, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Mallorca. Due to the anticipated high number of visitors, tour operators have already adjusted their transfers to ensure that holidaymakers can reach the airport earlier.

In addition, Spain has implemented extensive security measures. According to reports, 24,000 officials are on duty. This is also in response to an increased risk of wildfires, leading to road closures and fire bans. Soldiers are stationed on the island to ensure safety during the event.
