The last total solar eclipse over Europe was in 1999. One will be visible on Wednesday. For Reuters, Adrián Blanco Ramos mapped where tomorrow’s path will be and historical context with where previous paths were.
The 2026 eclipse is the first of three successive solar eclipses visible from Spain. It will be followed by another total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, with the path of totality crossing southern Spain before continuing across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and then by an annular solar eclipse on January 26, 2028, which will also be visible from Spain.
I’ve heard good things about the experience of totality. Maybe take advantage if you’re in or near the path.
