Now I looked up the next total eclipse in europe. Spain 12 August 2026 here I come!

Btw, is a total eclipse that different from an annular eclipse? Anybody got tips on what to do?

If you go north/west, the eclipse will take place a bit higher over the horizon. If you go to the eastern part/coast of Spain, it will be very low to the horizon, which would maybe suck inland but might be cool over the ocean.
