Total solar eclipse · 12 August 2026
Alicante will NOT see totality
◐ Partial eclipse · 99.2%
Alicante lies outside the path. It will see a partial eclipse of 99.2%: impressive, but no corona and no darkness. The good news: totality is only 114 km.
It's worth travelling: the difference between 99% and 100% is the difference between day and night.
