"On the 12th August 2026, a total solar eclipse will cross northern Spain and Portugal, offering an extraordinary celestial display. It will be one of Europe’s most significant astronomical events of the decade, with the midday sun completely obscured for around two minutes. The path of totality will pass through Galicia, Castilla y León and the Basque Country, with some of the best viewing expected around Santiago de Compostela, Oviedo and Bilbao.
