2027 Eclipse Viewing Cities

The Costa del Sol capital is the top destination for the 2027 eclipse. Excellent weather statistics, major international airport, abundant accommodation, and over 4 minutes of totality make it the ideal base. August brings near-guaranteed clear skies.

Luxury resort town very close to the center line of the 2027 eclipse. Marbella offers nearly the maximum possible totality duration from the Spanish mainland. World-class hotels and a glamorous setting for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

One of Europe's oldest cities, Cádiz is where the eclipse shadow enters Spain. Watch totality from the ancient sea walls or the beaches of La Caleta. Good duration and great weather make it a top pick for eclipse chasers.

While slightly north of the center line, Granada still gets good totality. Watching the eclipse with the Alhambra as a backdrop would be a once-in-history photograph. The Sierra Nevada mountains offer high-altitude viewing locations.

The southernmost point of mainland Europe offers a unique eclipse viewing experience with Africa visible across the Strait of Gibraltar. Both continents will be in the shadow simultaneously — a truly rare spectacle.

Charming Costa del Sol town very close to the center line. Estepona combines excellent totality duration with a beautiful beachfront setting and lower prices than neighboring Marbella.
