About this event
The Balearics sit in the path of totality for the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse, and the Govern has designated 26 official observation zones across the islands — nine on Mallorca, including Platja de Palma. The zones were chosen for visibility, access, parking and emergency cover rather than for the very best view, and they spread crowds away from fragile natural sites.
Why we picked it
A once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event with an officially organised, free, open-access viewing point inside Palma itself — the single biggest draw in the city this summer.
Free entry
Open public observation zone designated by the Govern de les Illes Balears on a public beach; no admission charge or ticket is indicated on the official page.
