TOURISTS in Spain are being urged to be cautious tomorrow when the rare solar eclipse takes place.
Anyone travelling to Spain or within Spain where you will be able to see the full solar eclipse, is being warned that there is a high risk of forest fires.
Six million people are expected to be travelling around the country to see the solar eclipse, across 660 official viewing spots.
And around half a million tourists are expected to travel to Spain for the rare event, with campsites across the country being booked out.
The roads are set to be busier too with around 1.5million journeys expected to be taken in the areas where you can see the eclipse fully.
According to The Olive Press, in Aragon for example, the eclipse will be fully visible and around 15,000 people are expected to camp the night in four spots in the area.

In fact, around 70 per cent of Spain’s rental motorhomes, camper vans and caravans have already been booked for the eclipse period.
As a result, several regions are on high alert of wildfires while the solar eclipse takes place, especially as temperatures are expected to reach 40C in parts of Spain tomorrow.
Authorities are warning that the countryside is particularly at risk, warning tourists and locals to not light fires and park on dry grass.
People are also not allowed to park on hard shoulders, have barbeques or have fireworks.
As a precaution, the natural parks and rural footpaths in the Valencia region have all been closed too.
Spots like Madrid, Zaragoza, Bilbao and Valencia will see a 99.9 per cent eclipse.
According to The Guardian, environment minister, Sara Aagesen, said: “The vegetation is extraordinarily dry and the smallest spark or carelessness could lead to devastating forest fires.”
