02-Aug-2026 -- I’m currently on a 2-week vacation in northern Spain, which I hope will culminate with the total solar eclipse on August 12th (perhaps viewing it from some other Degree Confluence Point not far from here). While driving on the long, 2-lane highway between Tarragona and Zaragosa, I stopped at the roadside turnout with a sign marking the “Greenwich Meridian” (which actually differs sightly from the "Prime Meridian"; the WGS84 coordinates of the sign are [40.98105,-0.00071]).

The Degree Confluence Point lies about 2km to the North. Conveniently, a narrow dirt road - leading to the point - starts just a few meters away from the “Greenwich Meridian” sign. After about 1km, this narrow dirt road inexplicably turned into a narrow paved road. Then, about 400m from the point, I took a gravel road that passed less than 100m from the point, which lies in a scrub-filled clearing. (I was very happy that I didn't have to walk far to reach the point, because it was a very hot day - around 40C!) The vegetation here looked very similar to that found in dry areas of the western U.S., except for the numerous olive trees that are planted in the surrounding area.

Here is a remote-controlled aerial video of this confluence point.
