The annular eclipse strip will leave the Peninsula by the Cape de la Nao (País Valencia) to continue on the Mediterranean Sea. It will touch the island of Formentera and the south side of Ibisa.

 

In Catalonia, we observe the eclipse as partial with apparent magnitudes since 0.862 to the most distant places (Girona) to 0.902 in Tarragona. With an obscuration up to 86%.
