President Pedro Sánchez chaired a coordination meeting for the ‘Three Eclipses’ initiative, aimed at ensuring safety, inter-agency cooperation, and public preparedness for Spain’s upcoming astronomical events between 2026 and 2028. The Ministry of Economy presented an impact study projecting a €347.60 million economic contribution from the 12 August total solar eclipse, including €342.19 million in tourism spending. The study estimates 446,700 tourists will visit affected provinces, with over one million accommodation units available. The government will implement security and civil protection plans, designating Yebes Observatory as the official monitoring center. A dedicated website provides public guidance on health, safety, and logistics. Key ministers attended the meeting, including Carlos Cuerpo, Sara Aagesen, and Mónica García.
