Where to Observe The Solar Eclipse in Spain?
Spain serves as a key destination for experiencing the total solar eclipse in 2026. The zone of totality will traverse the northern regions of the Iberian Peninsula, positioning Galicia as an excellent choice to witness this extraordinary display. Given that it occurs during sunset, the view over the Atlantic horizon is bound to create a breathtaking scene.
Day Trip to A Coruña (11 hours)
We will convene at the Alameda de Santiago Park before departing for the city of La Coruña. Renowned within Galicia, La Coruña is uniquely situated along the Atlantic coast. Our journey culminates at Monte de San Pedro, where you will find an elevated viewpoint, offering an unobstructed panorama, perfect for witnessing the Moon fully cover the Sun right before dusk. This location promises an exceptional perspective for this historic occasion!
Upon arrival, you can enjoy some leisure time in María Pita Square before embarking on a guided exploration of the historic district. The highlight will take place at Monte de San Pedro, a stunning natural vantage point. As the guide walks you through the stages of the eclipse, we’ll witness the solar corona illuminating the ocean during the moment of totality. An unforgettable experience!
