The City Council recommends planning in advance where to observe the eclipse and consulting only official sources, such as information from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) and official eclipse visibility maps. Travel to El Vedat for observation is discouraged due to pine groves and buildings hindering visibility. Access to Serra Perenxisa via forest paths is prohibited as a preventive measure against high fire risk.
To enjoy the eclipse safely, it is important to use certified eclipse glasses conforming to ISO 12312-2 and in good condition, avoiding direct Sun observation or homemade methods. Observation from urban, safe, and nearby areas is advised, avoiding unnecessary travel and forest zones. Protection against heat, parking only in authorized places, and keeping paths clear for emergency services are also emphasized.
Precautions against fire risk must be heightened, respecting prohibitions on fire use and access to forest areas. Follow instructions from Local Police, Civil Protection, and emergency services at all times. Consult institutional channels, do not spread rumors, and use mobile phones responsibly, prioritizing messages over calls or video streams in crowded areas. 112 should only be used in emergencies.
Finally, traffic congestion is expected after the eclipse, so patience and adherence to municipal services' directions are recommended. The City Council highlights the eclipse as an exceptional event and encourages enjoying it safely, responsibly, and with protection of the natural environment.
