Is Ermita de San Caprasio a good place to see the 2026 solar eclipse?

I will be in Barcelona before the eclipse on August 12 and am looking for a good place to have an unobstructed view in the evening. The next day I will be driving to Avignon. Everything in a 2-3 hour range from Barcelona by car would be perfect. AI suggested Ermita de San Caprasio as a good place to see the eclipse, but I am not sure if this is correct. Can anyone confirm this or suggest a better place? Driving all the way to the Atlantic is unfortunately too far for me. Thank you!

Location: Southern Germany near Überlingen looking west. This thing was flying southward.

Someone in Switzerland filmed the explosion: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bykh7NZE7QI

News articles (https://www.bluewin.ch/de/news/schweiz/seltsame-blaue-lichtspur-am-nachthimmel-sorgt-fuer-aufregung-3215033.html) say it was a starlink satellite burning up in the atmosphere. IMO It does not really look like that considering there is a bright light in the front and like a string of light(s) behind it.

Was it a Falcon 9 second stage? Or some space junk?
