The shadow crosses Spain in seventeen minutes.
A path about 290 km wide sweeps across northern Spain at sunset. Within it, 3,963 municipalities will see the solar disk completely covered.
It enters along the Asturias-Galicia coast.
The first point of contact with land is Gozón (Asturias): totality begins there at 20:26:36 and lasts 104 seconds. In A Coruña it begins half a minute later, at 20:27:35, and lasts 76 seconds. The Sun is already very low, 10–12° above the horizon.
Straight on toward the southeast.
The Moon's shadow moves across the Earth's surface at over 3,000 km/h — far faster than the rotation of the subsolar point itself. Scrub to follow its real advance from Galicia to the meseta.
1m 50s of totality in El Franco, Asturias.
The point of longest duration over Spanish territory. Burgos is the province with the most municipalities in the path (371), followed by Guadalajara, Zaragoza and Teruel. The amber gradient marks the real duration, from edge to core.
It exits through Castellón, Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
Palma sees totality; Madrid and Barcelona fall outside the path and will see a very deep partial eclipse, without the Sun ever being fully covered.
