Map of the 12 August 2026 solar eclipse in Spain

Spain at night, as the Moon’s shadow will see it. Tap anywhere and we tell you what the nearest municipality will see: whether the eclipse is total or partial, when maximum arrives and how long totality lasts. Press “See the Moon’s shadow” to watch the umbra cross the peninsula from Galicia to the Balearics between ~20:26 and ~20:34 local time, search your town with the magnifier, or switch on the 50 best villages layer.

Where this data comes from

The path of totality, the isolines and the umbra animation are computed on a grid of ~26,000 points with the JPL DE440s ephemerides (NASA) using the skyfield astronomy library, and cross-checked against the official data of Spain’s National Geographic Institute published at eclipses.ign.es. Municipality data uses the IGN/INE gazetteer and coordinates (© IGN). The Atlantic stretch visible when you zoom out (or in the intro) is an approximate illustrative trace — labelled as such on the map itself —; the fine computation covers Spain. The “best villages” layer uses the same ranking as the 50 best villages (seconds of totality, capitals excluded). The base map is OpenFreeMap with cartography © OpenStreetMap contributors, re-tinted to our night palette. All times are local (mainland/Balearics CEST; Canaries WEST).
