Total solar eclipse · August 2, 2027
Granada, Spain
Granada is NOT inside the path of totality. It gets a deep partial eclipse (99.2% of the Sun covered) — impressive, but nothing like the real thing: daylight never truly breaks, and the corona stays invisible.
The Alhambra makes Granada tempting as a base — check how close the path really comes before committing to it.

Where to stay in Granada
The path crosses some of Europe and North Africa's busiest August holiday coasts. For the 2024 US eclipse, rooms inside the path sold out months ahead at several times normal prices. A refundable booking made early costs nothing and protects you.
