Local circumstances
Cádiz is Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city and Spain's first major landfall for the August 2, 2027 eclipse. Expect roughly 2 minutes 55 seconds of totality around 10:47 local time, with the sun high in the late-morning sky — a sharp contrast to the low sunset eclipse of 2026 farther north. Phoenician, Roman, and Andalusian layers stack under the same Atlantic light that will briefly go dark. Pick a west-facing waterfront or open plaza; coastal haze can soften the corona, so a clear line of sight to the sun matters more than a famous viewpoint.
Viewing safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified solar viewers for every partial phase. Only during totality (when the Moon fully covers the Sun) is it safe to look without a filter, and only if you are inside the path.
