UpToWhereEclipse 2027 in Torre del Mar: how long does totality last?
Torre del Mar is inside the band, but only just: totality lasts 1m 42s. Near the limit the duration falls away very fast, so a short drive toward the centre of the band is worth more here than almost anything else you could do.

All times are local for Europe/Madrid (UTC+2) on eclipse day. Note the two-hour clock gap across the Strait: Spain is on UTC+2 and Morocco on UTC+0 that day, so the same instant reads two hours apart on the two shores.

Frequently asked questions
Will the 2027 eclipse be total in Torre del Mar?
Yes. Torre del Mar is inside the path of totality on 2 August 2027, and totality lasts 1m 42s, from 10:48:34 to 10:50:16 local time.
What time is the eclipse in Torre del Mar?
Maximum eclipse is at 10:49:25 local time (Europe/Madrid). The partial phase begins at 09:42:17 and ends at 12:03:06.
Will terrain block the view?
Almost certainly not. The Sun is 39.7° above the horizon here at maximum, so an obstruction would have to be extraordinarily close and tall. That was the decisive question for the 2026 eclipse, when the Sun was nearly setting, and it will be again for the January 2028 annular eclipse.
