Total Eclipse — Northern Spain

A total solar eclipse sweeps across northern Spain from Galicia to the Balearic Islands at sunset. Its global maximum duration is 2m 18s; local duration in Spain varies.

Max: ~1m50s in Spain

The path of totality enters Spain from the Atlantic, making landfall near A Coruña in Galicia. It sweeps east-southeast across Asturias, Cantabria, and northern Castilla y León through León and Burgos. The shadow continues across Aragón via Zaragoza, then crosses Catalonia near Lleida before heading out over the Mediterranean to reach the Balearic Islands, with Palma de Mallorca near the center line. Maximum totality occurs over the Mediterranean near the Balearics.

Total Eclipse — Southern Spain

A long total eclipse crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and the far south of Spain. Ceuta reaches about 4m 48s; duration varies sharply across the narrow path.

Max: 4m48s in Spain

The path of totality crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and covers Ceuta, Melilla, much of Cádiz province, a substantial part of Málaga province, and the southern edges of Granada and Almería provinces.

Annular

Ring of Fire — Southern and Eastern Spain

An annular "ring of fire" eclipse crosses much of southern and eastern Spain at sunset. Madrid city remains outside the annularity path; Sevilla, Córdoba, Albacete and Valencia get roughly seven minutes.

Max: ~7m in Spain

The annularity path reaches Spain from Portugal and covers roughly the southeastern half of the country, including most of Andalucía, southern Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, the Valencian Community, parts of Aragón and Catalonia, and the western Balearics. Madrid city, Badajoz city, Cáceres and Zaragoza see only a partial eclipse.

Why Spain?

Plan Around the Forecast

Historical August conditions vary sharply along the path. Treat climatology as a planning aid—not a forecast—and check AEMET during the final days before choosing your viewing site.

Strong—but Busy—Transport

Spain has major airports, high-speed rail and an extensive road network, but DGT expects exceptional eclipse traffic and popular destinations have limited remaining capacity. Book confirmed options and avoid improvised road moves.

Amazing Culture & Cuisine

Combine your eclipse trip with tapas tours, historic cities, Mediterranean beaches, and vibrant nightlife. No other eclipse destination offers this combination.

Three-for-One Opportunity

See up to 3 eclipses in 18 months without leaving the country. The 2027 eclipse will be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century visible from Europe.
