Solar Totality in Sotogrande: An Andalusian Journey

Journey to sun-splashed Andalucía for a rare celestial event framed by Moorish palaces, white hill towns, and the sparkling Mediterranean. Split your stay between seaside Marbella and elegant Sotogrande as you explore Granada’s exquisite Alhambra, cliff-top Ronda, and historic Málaga, Picasso’s birthplace. Then, at a hilltop castle in the Spanish countryside, watch day turn to twilight during a total solar eclipse, followed by stargazing with an expert under the Andalusian night sky.
