Municipalities in Tarragona within the path of totality

Observation guide

The path of totality entered Tarragona from the south and took in 169 municipalities, the capital included. The longest totality was measured at La Sénia, already in the foothills of the Ports massif, at 1m 38s. Around the Ebro delta and the Montsià the figures stayed close to a minute and a half, while further north in the province the shadow passed faster and the total phase shortened noticeably. Almost all the observational interest was concentrated in the southern end.

The index rewarded exactly that corner. Ulldecona (81.6) and Godall (81.5) led on 1m 36s, while Amposta and Deltebre gave up a few seconds in exchange for the best sky statistics in the province, a 57.1 percent historical clear-sky rate during the eclipse window. Freginals rounded out the group at 1m 35s. The provincial average is 46.8 percent, spanning 40.2 to 58.3 percent, so heading down towards the Ebro improved duration and cloud odds at the same time.

The Sun was very low here, four to five degrees above the horizon, all but grazing the skyline. On the coast that worked in your favour, since the flat delta country leaves the inland view open, whereas in enclosed valleys any range to the west-northwest could swallow the Sun before maximum. These percentages are climate statistics from 1996 to 2025, describing thirty-year tendencies rather than the sky on the day. Spain's next total eclipse, on 2 August 2027, touches only Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla; from Tarragona it means travelling.
