Benalmádena: 12 August Solar Eclipse Boat Trip with Dinner and Glasses
On 12 August the sun sets eclipsed over the Mediterranean. At 20:38 the moon covers 95 % of the solar disc just 6° above the horizon: from land it hides behind the buildings, from the sea you have it clear.
What you'll do
- Maximum at 20:38 with 95 % of the sun covered over Andalusia
- The sun sets eclipsed: the eclipse ends after sunset
- At just 6° above the horizon you need a clear western horizon — only the sea gives you that
- Certified solar viewing glasses included for every passenger
- Only 12 places on a single departure, with the Sunset tasting menu included
From Andalusia the eclipse is seen as partial, peaking at 95 % coverage at 20:38. The path of totality crosses northern Spain. Viewing depends on weather conditions: the activity runs regardless and keeps the tasting menu and all other services even if cloud cover prevents viewing.
