Spain eclipse 2027: where to stay for totality
⏳ …
On August 2, 2027 totality crosses the far south of Spain in mid-morning, around 10:47 CEST (08:47 UT). Computed durations: Tarifa ≈4m 40s, Cádiz ≈2m 55s, Málaga ≈1m 50s, and across the Strait Tangier ≈4m 55s. Seville (≈98%) and Madrid (≈86%) only get a partial eclipse — if you are based there, drive south into the path.
Where to base yourself
- Tarifa — the longest totality in Spain; small town, so rooms will go fast.
- Cádiz & the Costa de la Luz — more hotels, shorter totality near the northern edge.
- Málaga & Costa del Sol — huge hotel supply and an airport, but under 2 minutes of totality; consider driving west toward Tarifa on the day.
- Tangier, Morocco — about an hour by ferry from Tarifa with even longer totality.
The Levante wind can bring haze to the Strait, so keep a backup plan and arrive the day before.
