Solar eclipse in Archena

Partial eclipse

On Monday 2 August 2027 the eclipse will be partial in Archena: the Moon will cover up to 95.9% of the solar disc, with maximum at 10:53 (Peninsular Spain time). It starts at 09:45 and it ends at 12:07. In Spain, totality will only be seen in 105 municipalities in Málaga, Cádiz, Granada, Almería, Ceuta and Melilla. Here the Sun is never fully covered, so the glasses stay on the whole time.

With the naked eye

What you will actually notice in Archena

  1. 09:45The Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the light starts to drop. You will not see it yet: a small bite out of a Sun that is still dazzling.
  2. 68 minof steady fading until maximum. In the last stretch it becomes obvious: shadows sharpen, colours go flat and the air goes still in Archena.
  3. 10:53Maximum: the Moon covers 95.9% of the Sun.
  4. 95.9 %of the Sun covered. The light will turn strange — flat and cold, like a storm that never arrives — but it does NOT go dark: for that you have to be inside the path of totality.
  5. 42.4°above the horizon at maximum, towards the east. With the Sun this high you do not need a clear horizon: just make sure no nearby building is in the way.
  6. 12:07The disc is whole again and the eclipse is over.

The question everyone is asking

95.9% is not 100%

In Archena the Moon will cover 95.9% of the Sun. The missing 4.1% changes everything: while a single sliver of the Sun's surface is still visible, it is still daytime. No corona, no planets, no twilight darkness — and the glasses never come off.

Archena gets 0 seconds of totality. 189 km away, in Roquetas de Mar (Almería), totality lasts 90 seconds.

If you can travel that day, travel. If you cannot, 95.9% through certified glasses is still worth the morning.

Look at the Sun only through certified eclipse glasses

During the partial phases you must use eclipse glasses that carry the EN ISO 12312-2:2015 marking printed on the frame and a CE mark issued by a notified body (a 4-digit code). Official safe-observation guidance from Spain’s IGN at eclipses.ign.es.

Before trusting a pair, check the frame: the standard printed on it, the CE mark with the notified body’s four-digit number, and the manufacturer’s name and address. Full checklist in our certified eclipse glasses guide.
