Puigpunyent / Eclipse 2027
2 August 2027 · late morning
The eclipse
over the valley.
On 2 August 2027 the Moon will cover about nine tenths of the Sun as seen from Mallorca. Totality falls across southern Spain, a short flight away. Here is what to expect in Puigpunyent and how to watch it safely.
What Puigpunyent will see
A deep partial
eclipse.
At 90% the daylight turns strange and silvery, but the Sun is never safe to look at.
Mallorca sits outside the path of totality, so the whole island sees a partial eclipse. Published estimates for viewpoints across the island put the obscuration at roughly 89 to 90%, with the deepest point a little before 11:00 in the morning. Puigpunyent can expect much the same.
The eclipse comes in late morning, with the Sun well up in the south-eastern sky. Any open terrace, field or summit with a clear view that way will work: the church terrace in Galilea, the village square, or Galatzó itself for those who start walking at dawn.
Exact local times are published by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional nearer the date. We will update this page and send the details to the newsletter.

Safety first
Protect
your eyes.
Even with 90% covered, the sliver of Sun that remains is bright enough to damage your eyes permanently, without any pain to warn you.
- GlassesUse certified eclipse glasses marked ISO 12312-2 for the whole eclipse. Check them for scratches first.
- Not safeSunglasses, smoked glass, X-ray film and phone screens do not protect you.
- OpticsNever look through binoculars, a camera or a telescope without a proper solar filter on the front.
- Easy & safeMake a pinhole viewer from two pieces of card, or hold a colander over paper and watch dozens of tiny crescent Suns appear.
- ChildrenSupervise them throughout, and keep the glasses on until the eclipse ends.
