About this event
Valencia lies inside the band of totality for the 12 August eclipse — IGN puts totality at roughly 62 seconds between 20:32 and 20:33, with the sun very low over the sea. Malvarrosa is a designated city viewing point, reinforced with extra police, transport and health services for the crowds expected at sunset. Free certified glasses are being distributed in advance while supplies last.
