Vejer de la Frontera and the path of totality
Vejer de la Frontera is the large yellow dot. The dark band is the path of totality; the further you are from its edges, the longer totality lasts.
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.
Watching the eclipse in Vejer de la Frontera
Vejer is a white hilltop town a few kilometres inland, which helps if morning sea fog sits on the coast. Its height gives good views to the east.

- Where in Vejer is best to watch?
- The old town walls look over the coast and the countryside, which makes them a good place to see the Moon’s shadow sweep in across the landscape.
- Can I park in Vejer on the day?
- Parking in the hilltop old town is very limited, and access is likely to be controlled on eclipse day. Medina Sidonia, a quieter hill town inland, is also inside the path with a little over three minutes of totality.
