50,000 people gathered in Torreón, Coahuila, to witness a total eclipse in broad daylight. It was the first visible in the country for more than three decades.

The echoes of the 1991 eclipse guided thousands to the cities located in the strip of totality. The next eclipse of this type will be in 30 or 40 years, says Thalía Olvera, a 37-year-old girl who came to see it for the first time in 1991.. The city served as a tourist destination and the designation of NASA broadcast from the city.
