About FindTotality

FindTotality helps you decide where to stand for the total solar eclipse over Spain on 12 August 2026 — the first visible from mainland Spain in over a century. It happens close to sunset with the Sun very low, so what matters is the exact time, the seconds of totality and a clear west-northwest horizon.

How the times are calculated

Per-coordinate circumstances (maximum time, totality start and end, Sun altitude and coverage) are computed with the open-source astronomy-engine library (MIT). Calculate any point in the calculator or browse the per-town guides. Times are in Spanish peninsular time (CEST = UTC+2).

Sources and accuracy

Always verify with official sources before travelling: the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) for the eclipse and AEMET for the cloud forecast (available from late July). Madrid and Barcelona are outside totality — they see a partial eclipse.

The 2026–2028 triad

Spain gets a rare run of eclipses: total on 12 August 2026, another total on 2 August 2027 (southern Spain) and an annular one on 26 January 2028. Start here and you're set for all three.

Safety

Looking at the Sun unprotected harms your eyes. Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses during all partial phases; you may only remove them during totality, and only inside the path.
