On August 12, 2026, a historic solar eclipse is set to occur in the skies of Europe, which will be visible not only in Spain but also in other locations. This rare phenomenon will happen in Europe again after 27 years, and millions are expected to travel to watch it.
The Skies of Northern Spain in the Spotlight
In northern Spain, especially in areas like León, the Asturian beaches, Santander, and around Bilbao, the best conditions for viewing this phenomenon are provided. In these regions, those who go to watch the solar eclipse will be able to witness unique beauties that only occur in the last moments of the day. At this time, the sun will also be setting, and the combination of these two captivating phenomena will create unparalleled images.
As this celestial display has attracted much attention, hotels and accommodations in these areas are quickly filling up, and it is predicted that over 10 million people will participate in this event.
Germany Also Awaits the Darkened Sky
But if you did not travel to Spain, do not worry! This solar eclipse will also be visible in Germany, although it will not be complete. In cities like Munich, 89 percent of the setting sun will be visible, and in Frankfurt, this amount reaches 88 percent. Berlin and Hamburg will also offer a special experience for viewers with 85 percent of the eclipse at its peak.
The occurrence of this phenomenon will be at 19:19, so spectators should consider finding places with an unobstructed view to the west, as the sun is setting and horizontal obstacles may block the view.
