We asked you for your best photos of yesterday's partial eclipse in Spain. Here are a few of our favourites.

Day briefly turned to night in Spain yesterday, as the country witnessed its first total solar eclipse in more than a century. Swathes of the country were plunged into an eerie darkness as the spectral glow of the Sun's outer corona shimmered out from the edges of the shadowy Moon.

The spectacle drew gasps and cheers from huge crowds in Spain, just 90 minutes after it first appeared in the remote Arctic region of northern Russia.

"It's a sight I never would have imagined seeing," said Isabel Troyano, a 56-year-old homemaker, watching with her son in Tarragona, on Spain's Mediterranean coast. "I got goosebumps," she told AFP.

Alejandro Cuesta, a 30-year-old nanoscience researcher, called it "incredible... I almost burst into tears. I got chills all over my body," he said.
