What will the eclipse be like in Soria?
On 12 August 2026, Soria (Castilla y León) will sit inside the path of totality of the first total solar eclipse visible from mainland Spain in over a century. Maximum is at 20:29:48 (Spanish peninsular time) and totality lasts about 105 seconds: the sky darkens like night and the solar corona appears.
Because it happens right before sunset, the Sun will be very low (7.2°). That's why what matters is not just being in the right place, but having the west-northwest horizon clear of hills and buildings.
