CATCHING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE IN THE CANARY ISLANDS | Your guide to witnessing the solar eclipse from the Canary Islands: timings and viewing locations

Even though Canary Islands are not one of the most privileged regions on the planet to witness this Monday’s solar eclipse, it is true that it will be visible to some extent, so it is advisable to have some recommendations.

  • The Moon will ‘bite’ the Sun for only ten minutes: between 20.17 and 20.27 hours this evening.
  • The eclipse can only be seen from the islands in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro).
  • Unfavourable forecast: the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts predominantly cloudy skies in the northern islands with higher relief, which will hinder observing the phenomenon.

A Historical Overview of Eclipses in Canarias

[–>

Canary Islands have not witnessed a total solar eclipse since 1959 (65 years ago) and will not do so again until over 200 years: in the year 2243. In that year, many scientists gathered in Tenerife to witness the event and most were amazed by the clarity with which the skies of the Canary Islands allowed them to see the cosmos.

But it’s not all bad news. The north of Lanzarote will be able to observe one almost entirely in 2078 during sunset and the Iberian Peninsula has two significant appointments between 2026 and 2027. The Iberian Peninsula will enjoy total solar eclipses on August 12, 2026, and August 2, 2027, as well as an annular solar eclipse on January 26, 2028. These latter events occur when the Moon is at the farthest point in its orbit, preventing it from completely covering the Sun.
