With the naked eye

What you will actually notice in Usansolo

  1. 19:31The 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. 55 minof steady fading until maximum. In the last stretch it becomes obvious: shadows sharpen, colours go flat and the air goes still in Usansolo.
  3. 20:27Maximum. Night falls at 20:27 and lifts at 20:28.
  4. 39 sof night in broad daylight, exactly. The corona appears, Venus and Jupiter come out and the temperature drops. This is the ONLY stretch where the glasses come off — put them straight back on when the first ray returns.
  5. 8°The Sun will be very low at maximum. Pick a spot with a clear western horizon in advance: a row of houses or a nearby hill is enough to miss it.
  6. 21:18The Sun sets while still eclipsed: here the eclipse does not end, it disappears. The last thing you see is a bitten Sun sinking below the horizon.

What you will see in Usansolo

At 19:31, the Moon will touch the edge of the solar disc and the partial phase will begin in Usansolo. Over the next 55 minutes the bite will keep growing — always watch it through certified eclipse glasses — and in the final minutes the evening light will fade noticeably, with sharper shadows and a strangely muted atmosphere.

Around 20:27, Baily's beads and the diamond ring will arrive: the last ray of sunlight blazing on the Moon's edge. Right after comes totality: for 0m 39s, the solar corona will appear around the black disc of the Moon, the sky will darken as in late twilight, the temperature can drop by 2–5 °C, and Venus and Jupiter will be visible near the eclipsed Sun.

Around 20:28, a second diamond ring will mark the end of totality: at that very instant you must put your glasses back on (official safe-observation guidance: eclipses.ign.es). The waning partial phase will continue until the Sun sets, still eclipsed, around 21:18.

Mind the Sun's altitude: during totality it will be very low, about 8° above the horizon. Pick a raised spot or open ground with a clear west-northwest horizon well in advance: a row of buildings or a nearby hill is enough to make you miss it.

Galicia and the Cantabrian coast are the climatologically riskiest part of the path: the probability of clear skies is around 30–50%. Have a plan B further inland (the Castilian plateau or the Ebro valley). Climatology: © AEMET (May 2026 analysis) and Eclipsophile.

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 using your glasses, check that the model appears among the verified ones at eclipseseguro.es — the Spanish consumer-protection watchdog is running an active market-surveillance campaign against counterfeit eclipse glasses. Full checklist in our certified eclipse glasses guide.
