Total solar eclipse

The total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027 will be the great southern eclipse. In Spain, totality will be concentrated in Ceuta, Melilla and parts of Andalusia.

Main challenge

Narrower and busier path

The Spanish path will be more limited and likely very busy. The value is in comparing nearby points with good visibility, reasonable access and room to move.
