Southern Spain & Morocco: totality on August 2, 2027

⏳ …

Just a year after the 2026 eclipse over northern Spain, totality returns to southern Spain on August 2, 2027, around 10:47 local time (CEST). Computed totality durations: Tarifa ≈4m 40s, Tangier ≈4m 55s, Cádiz ≈2m 55s, Málaga ≈1m 50s. Seville (≈98%) and Madrid (≈86%) only see a partial eclipse.

Best bases

Tarifa — the southern tip of Europe, near the centre line; beaches and kitesurf town.
Cádiz & Costa de la Luz — closer to the northern edge, so shorter totality, but plenty of hotels.
Tangier, Morocco — about an hour by ferry from Tarifa, with a longer totality.

Tips

The Levante wind can bring haze or cloud to the Strait — keep a mobile backup plan.
Expect huge crowds and traffic; arrive the day before.
