This interactive map shows the full path of the total solar eclipse as it crosses Spain. The shaded area represents the path of totality — the zone where the sun will be completely obscured by the moon. The green line marks the centerline, where the eclipse duration is longest.

Understanding the Map
- Dark shaded area: The path of totality (umbra), where the total eclipse will be visible.
- Green centerline: The center of the eclipse path, where totality lasts the longest.
- Outer boundary lines: The northern and southern edges of the eclipse path.
Key Facts
- The eclipse path enters Spain from the northwest (Galicia) around 19:27 local time and exits over the Balearic Islands around 20:35 local time.
- Maximum totality duration along the centerline in Spain is approximately 1 minute 48 seconds (near Oviedo/León).
- The sun will be low on the horizon — between 2° (Balearic Islands) and 12° (Galicia) depending on location. You need a clear view toward the west-northwest.
- The eclipse occurs in the early evening, around 20:27–20:35 local time, roughly one hour before sunset.
- The path is approximately 290 km wide across Spain. Cities just outside the path (like Madrid and Salamanca) will see a deep partial eclipse but not totality.
