The Balearic Government launches the first specific device to manage the total solar eclipse on August 12, with 26 observation areas and mobility restrictions in the Serra de Tramuntana.
The Government of the Balearic Islands has activated the ECLIPBAL protocol, the first specific device to manage the total solar eclipse that will be visible in Mallorca on August 12. The operation, which coordinates around a hundred involved services, aims to ensure safety during an event expected to attract large crowds.
According to the regional government, the device includes 26 official observation areas spread across the islands, with special attention to securing the Serra de Tramuntana and natural spaces. The goal is to prevent overcrowding and protect the environment in light of the anticipated influx of visitors.
The protocol includes specific mobility and access restrictions in certain areas, as well as increased surveillance along the coast and at sea. Emergency services will be on alert to address any incidents during the event.
The Government reminds that there will be exceptions for residents, essential services, public transport, and justified travel. All information regarding observation areas, restrictions, and recommendations is available on the website eclipsisegur.caib.es.
The eclipse on August 12 will be total in the Balearic Islands, an event that will not occur again for decades and has led authorities to prepare an unprecedented operation. The Government urges citizens to experience the phenomenon "with respect and safety," following official guidelines.
