The Mislata City Council is setting up a viewing point next to Plaza de la Libertad on August 12 to see the total solar eclipse. Free certified glasses will be distributed until supplies last.

On August 12, Mislata will become a prime viewing spot to witness one of the most anticipated astronomical phenomena: the total solar eclipse. The local council has organised a viewing point next to the Plaza de la Libertad, where attendees can follow the event from 7:00 PM, the moment the phenomenon begins.

The event is open to all citizens and does not require prior registration. The council will distribute free certified viewing glasses that comply with the ISO 12312-2 standard, until supplies last. They will be given to those over 16 years old and to minors as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

The initiative aims to ensure that residents and visitors can enjoy the eclipse with all safety guarantees, avoiding eye risks. The council encourages attendees to arrive early to secure a spot and glasses, as the capacity of the viewing point is limited and the distribution of protection will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

This total solar eclipse is one of the most significant in recent years on the peninsula, and Mislata is joining the event with an accessible proposal for all ages. The activity is free and is part of the municipal leisure and free time programming.

For more information, interested parties can check the Mislata City Council's agenda on its official website. The recommendation is to arrive a few minutes before 7:00 PM to not miss the start of the phenomenon.
