Seville and the path of totality
Seville is the large white dot, outside the dark band. To see the Sun completely covered you need to be inside the band.
Where to look
The Sun will be 38° above the horizon towards the east. That is roughly the height of a raised fist held at arm’s length, stacked 4 times above the horizon. Pick a spot with nothing tall on that side: a beach or hillside facing east is ideal, while narrow streets and tall buildings to the east can block the view.
Where to go for totality
The nearest place to see the total eclipse from Seville is Cádiz or Vejer, about 1.5 to 2 hours by road. If you can make the trip, leave the evening before: roads into the path are expected to be very busy on the morning of the eclipse.
Good questions
- Will there be a total eclipse in Seville?
- No. Seville is outside the path of totality. At most 98.2% of the Sun will be covered, at 10:47:24 local time (UTC+2).
- Where is the nearest place to see totality from Seville?
- The nearest practical option is Cádiz or Vejer, about 1.5 to 2 hours by road.
- How dark will it get in Seville?
- With 98.2% of the Sun covered, daylight will dim noticeably and take on a strange, flat quality, and it may feel slightly cooler. It will not get dark, the stars will not come out and the corona will stay hidden, because even a thin sliver of Sun is far brighter than the corona.
- Does anywhere in Seville province get totality?
- No. Even the best towns in the province, such as El Cuervo and Lebrija, reach only about 99.8%, which is not enough to see the corona.
- What is the nearest place with a decent totality?
- Jerez is right on the edge with only about a minute and a half. Cádiz, a little over 1.5 hours by train, has 2m 54s, and the Costa de la Luz beyond it has more than four minutes.
