Frequently asked questions

Can I look at the eclipse without glasses?

Only during totality and only inside the path: when the Sun is completely covered you can look with the naked eye. Before and after, and throughout a partial eclipse (even at 98 %), use glasses certified to ISO 12312-2. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect you.

Where will the total eclipse be seen in Spain?

In Ceuta, Melilla, almost all of Cádiz province, much of Málaga and the south of Granada and Almería. Spain’s longest totality is in Ceuta (4 min 48 s); it lasts 2 min 54 s in Cádiz and 1 min 49 s in Málaga. Seville will see a 98 % partial eclipse and Madrid 86 %.

What time is the eclipse?

It depends on the city. In mainland Spain it starts between 9:40 and 9:50 and ends between 11:55 and 12:13 (CEST); inside the path, totality happens between 10:45 and 10:53. In the Canary Islands the maximum is around 9:34 (WEST) and in Turkey between 12:38 and 13:04 (TRT).
