"A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, perfectly aligning to completely obscure the Sun, casting a dark shadow across the Earth. The event may be around five months away, but many are already planning their trips and accommodation is booking up fast."
"The total solar eclipse in Spain will be a major event as the last total solar eclipse which could be seen from much of mainland occurred all the way back on August 30th, 1905. Spanish tourism officials have revealed they also expect an increase in overnight stays in August, in addition to the regular summer holidaymakers."
"The total solar eclipse is due to pass over 40 percent of Spain, so the good news is that there are many places to choose from. The regions that the eclipse will pass through are Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla y Leon, the Basque Country, La Rioja, Navarre, Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands."
Spain will experience a rare total solar eclipse on August 12th, 2026, marking the first occurrence in over 120 years since 1905. The eclipse will be visible across approximately 40% of Spanish territory, passing through twelve regions including Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Aragon, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. The phenomenon occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, completely obscuring the Sun and casting a shadow across the landscape. Tourism officials anticipate significant increases in visitors and accommodation bookings, particularly challenging given that August coincides with peak Spanish holiday season. Viewing quality varies by location, with some areas like Barcelona seeing 99% coverage while southern locations like Tarragona will experience 100% totality.
