PATH OF TOTALITY AND PERCENTAGES

Check the map before choosing your destination

Here’s a map showing where the path of totality runs—the area where the Sun will be completely obscured—and the approximate percentage of the Sun’s disk that will be covered in the rest of Spain. Within the path, small changes in location can alter the duration of totality.
