The shadow crossed Spain in seventeen minutes.
A path about 290 km wide swept across northern Spain at sunset. Within it, 3,963 municipalities saw the solar disk completely covered.
It entered along the Asturias-Galicia coast.
The first point of contact with land was Gozón (Asturias): totality began there at 20:26:36 and lasted 104 seconds. In A Coruña it began half a minute later, at 20:27:35, and lasted 76 seconds. The Sun was already very low, 10–12° above the horizon.
Straight on toward the southeast.
The Moon's shadow moved across the Earth's surface at over 3,000 km/h — far faster than the rotation of the subsolar point itself. Scrub to follow its real advance from Galicia to the meseta.
1m 50s of totality in El Franco, Asturias.
The point of longest duration over Spanish territory. Burgos was the province with the most municipalities in the path (371), followed by Guadalajara, Zaragoza and Teruel. The amber gradient marks the real duration, from edge to core.
It exited through Castellón, Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
Palma saw totality; Madrid and Barcelona fell outside the path and saw a very deep partial eclipse, without the Sun ever being fully covered.
