Solar Eclipse in Spain on August 12

Spain is preparing for an exceptional solar eclipse on August 12, with the band of totality crossing the peninsula from west to east. The event will begin around 19:30, reach its peak at 20:26, and conclude around 21:21. The eclipse will be visible as partial in much of North America, Europe, and Africa, but only Spain, northwest Greenland, and the extreme west of Iceland will experience totality. The State Meteorological Agency predicts clear or partly cloudy skies over most of Spain, with more clouds expected in the north and east. Safety guidelines include using certified glasses to protect eyes and planning trips to avoid congestion.
