About Coria del Río
Coria del Río is a municipality in the province of Seville, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, with nearly 30,600 inhabitants. It sits at just 13 meters above sea level, in the flat terrain that characterizes the surroundings of Seville capital. Integrated into Seville's metropolitan area, this medium-sized town forms part of one of the most densely inhabited urban corridors in southern Spain.
For this eclipse
On 12 August 2026 it will be possible to observe a partial eclipse from Coria del Río. Maximum eclipse will occur at 20:37 local time, with the Sun 7.4 degrees above the horizon and a margin of 6.7 degrees relative to the surrounding terrain: visibility will be guaranteed as long as the western horizon remains free of nearby obstacles. Since it is a partial eclipse, the solar disc will not be completely covered; the use of approved solar filters is essential throughout the observation.
The weather in August
August in Coria del Río falls within the driest season of the year in Seville province. Historical records from AEMET (1991–2020 period) place the risk of thunderstorms in August at a low level, indicating that the atmosphere tends to be stable during summer. For those planning to observe the eclipse, this historical pattern is relevant: August afternoons in this area tend to pass without meteorological disturbances that could compromise sky visibility.
Past eclipses
The last total eclipse visible from Coria del Río occurred on 22 December 1870, 156 years ago, with a totality lasting 91 seconds. Previously, on 1 April 1764—262 years ago—an annular eclipse took place. After the eclipses of 2026, 2027 and 2028, it will be necessary to wait until 13 July 2075 for the next annular eclipse visible from here, and until 20 June 2327 for the following total eclipse.
Direction and altitude of the Sun
At the moment of maximum obscuration, at 20:37 on 12 August 2026, the Sun will be 7.4 degrees above the horizon, with an azimuth of 283 degrees: a position close to west-northwest. At that time, the star will already be descending towards sunset, so the observation will occur with a grazing geometry facing the western horizon. It is advisable to choose an elevated observation point or with a wide view towards the west to avoid losing the eclipse angle.

What the contact points (C1-C4) mean
A solar eclipse is described by four key moments, the contact points between the discs of the Sun and the Moon:
- C1First contact: the Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the partial eclipse begins.
- C2Second contact: the Moon fully covers the Sun and totality begins.
- C3Third contact: the Sun reappears and totality ends.
- C4Fourth contact: the Moon leaves the Sun's disc and the eclipse ends.
Where the eclipse is only partial, the Moon never fully covers the Sun: only C1 and C4 occur, with no totality in between.
