I hope to be able to see the next one here from a similarly high spot!

There is a total eclipse in northern Spain in August 2026. I am intending to be there - hopefully the last shakedown trip before a larger trip. Details of the eclipse here.
I hadn't thought about being able to watch the sweep of the zone of totality moving in - that would be good to see. Any suggestions about good places to view the August 2026 eclipse would be gratefully accepted.
