No motorhomes available in Burgos due to eclipse
Original source: Diario de Burgos

In the province of Burgos (Spain), motorhomes are fully booked for August 12, 2026, when a solar eclipse is expected, with some rental companies already out of stock. The Burgos Astronomical Association warned of the tourist influx over two years ago. Hotels and rural accommodations are also fully occupied, so late bookers are turning to motorhomes. Mobilrent has no vehicles left, while AcBur still has some availability but high demand.

BNG spokesperson Anxo Baz criticized the location next to a museum in the urban center, as well as insufficient control and confusing signage.
