2028 Annular Eclipse Viewing Cities

Spain's capital lies on the path of the 2028 annular eclipse. With the best transport connections in the country, Madrid is the most accessible viewing location. The "ring of fire" will be visible for nearly 10 minutes — an extraordinary duration.

Close to the Portuguese border in Extremadura, Badajoz is one of the first Spanish cities to see the ring of fire. The wide-open Extremaduran plains offer unobstructed horizons for viewing.

UNESCO World Heritage old town in Extremadura. The medieval plaza provides a dramatic setting for the annular eclipse. January weather is cooler but the region has decent winter sunshine.

Just northeast of Madrid, Guadalajara offers slightly better center-line positioning. Easy day trip from the capital with a charming historic center as a viewing location.
