The first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Spain in over a century. The Moon's shadow will cross northern Spain at sunset — followed by the Perseids meteor shower that same night.
From the Arctic, through Iceland, to northern Spain. The path of totality will cross west to east: from Galicia to the Balearic Islands, passing through over 20 provincial capitals. Best weather conditions are expected in the Ebro Valley (Zaragoza, Huesca).
Totality times calculated by Spain's National Astronomical Observatory (IGN). Official astronomical data.
Also in the path: Lugo · Zamora · Segovia · Soria · Santander · Guadalajara · Cuenca · Teruel · Tarragona · Valencia · Castellón
Never look directly at the sun without certified protection. Regular sunglasses do NOT protect your eyes. Only ISO 12312-2 certified filters are safe for direct solar viewing.
The August 12 eclipse coincides with the Perseids meteor shower peak. After watching totality at sunset, stay for the shooting stars: with a new moon, conditions for the Perseids will be perfect. An unprecedented double celestial spectacle.
The next total solar eclipse visible from Spain won't arrive until the year 2187. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
