What you'll see in Melilla

Artist's impression of totality over Melilla: the Moon fully covering the Sun, with the corona showing around it.

Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Melilla; the skyline itself is generic.

Melilla gets 4m34s, comfortably inside the path, with the Sun 41° up — the longest totality of any Spanish city on this list.

The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.

⚠ Eye safety

Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 10:48:19–10:52:53 UTC+2, when the Sun is fully covered from Melilla.
