The Moon will completely blot out the Sun on 12 August along a narrow strip crossing northern and eastern Spain.
It will be the first total eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century; the previous one took place in 1912.
The shadow cast by the Moon will sweep in over Galicia and race across the country from west to east, finally reaching Palma de Mallorca just as the Sun sets.
On the Spanish mainland, the partial phase will begin at around 7:30 pm CEST, with the moment of greatest darkening arriving between 8:27 pm and 8:35 pm, depending on location.
The phenomenon will end shortly before 9:30 pm, with the Sun already very low on the horizon and, in some places, practically set. Where it does occur, totality will last just under two minutes.
