Spanish mountain village braces for astrotourists lured by total solar eclipse

A remote village of just 66 residents in Spain is preparing for the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse by restricting vehicle access to its best viewing mountain. Authorities say the narrow road and limited local resources can’t support thousands of arrivals, so access will be limited to foot traffic for a day. The village is known for dark skies and expects heavy interest from eclipse chasers across Europe, echoing broader concerns about managing overtourism.
