On 12 August 2026, much of the world will experience one of the most spectacular astronomical phenomena of the century: a total solar eclipse that will cross the country from west to east at sunset. It will be the first time in more than a century that the totality of the eclipse can be observed from Spain, which has aroused enormous scientific and tourist interest.
The event will take place in the late afternoon and will reach its maximum at around 20:30, with totality lasting around two minutes depending on the location.
