Sigüenza, Spain 2026

As part of our European vacation, we experienced early evening totality with family and friends on the grounds of the medieval castle in Sigüenza, Spain.  Solar images were taken with a Canon EOS R camera with a RF 100-400 mm zoom lens and 2X telextender set to 600 mm.  Video was taken with a Sony RX100 VII compact camera.
