The next two solar eclipses will both run over the same country, each less than a year removed.
Spain is the only country in the world that experiences the path of the whole for the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026 and the solar eclipse on August 2, 2027 and offers Sky Gazers a unique opportunity to observe the sky event.
Six of the ten sunniest cities in Europe are in Spain, which means that there is hardly a chance that it will be covered by clouds.
The large European solar eclipse of 2026 takes place at the highlight of the tourist season in August and crosses most of the northern Spain and the Balearic Islands.

A third solar eclipse will also be visible in Spain in January 2028, although it is only a ring -shaped solar eclipse.
This was the moon that covers the sun in the middle of the sun, but visible the outer edges to create a “fire ring”.
All three solar eclipses from Great Britain will be visible as partial solar eclipses, although the chance of a clear sky is less safe.
Astronomers recommend using special glasses to see the solar eclipses to avoid damage, or to use homemade projection equipment to follow the progression of the moon when it fits in front of the sun.
“You must not look at it with the naked eye, you must not look at it with a telescope – unless you have the right kind of filters,” said Dr. Robert Massey, deputy managing director of the Royal Astronomical Society.
“It is quite possible to take a picture of a solar eclipse. My recommendation would be that if you project the picture onto a piece of white card, simply take pictures of the projection and then see the progress of the solar eclipse and see it bite that is taken out of the sun while the moon moves over it.”
