Total Solar Eclipse 2026-08-12 — Palma de Mallorca

About this spectacle

On 12 August 2026, the Moon's shadow sweeps across Palma de Mallorca, plunging the city into totality during a total solar eclipse. Observers will witness the solar corona blazing into view — a gossamer halo invisible at any other time — as the sky darkens to a deep twilight blue and the brightest stars and planets appear in midday. The temperature drops noticeably, birds fall silent, and the horizon glows with the colours of a 360-degree sunset ring surrounding the shadow. Totality lasts only minutes, making the precise moment of first and second contact intensely dramatic. Palma's seafront promenades and hilltop positions offer unobstructed views toward the ecliptic path, with the warm Mediterranean summer ensuring generally clear skies. This is a once-in-a-generation alignment for this latitude — a celestial event that demands being outdoors with eyes (safely) locked on the sky.
