How has Mallorca experienced recent Solar Eclipses?

Mallorca has a rich history of observing solar eclipses. The last total solar eclipse visible from the island occurred on August 11, 1999, and it was an event that mobilized thousands of residents and tourists. Equipped with cameras and homemade devices, people gathered in places like Platja de Palma to witness the phenomenon. The island experienced a significant drop in brightness and temperature as the sun was obscured by 72%.
