Manacor is the second most populous municipality in Mallorca, with around 42,600 inhabitants, and lies in the interior of the island, 125 metres above sea level. It belongs to the Balearic Islands and serves as capital of the Llevant region. Its position away from the coast gives it an open horizon towards the west, which proves decisive for viewing the 2026 eclipse.
On 12 August 2026, Manacor will lie within the path of totality. The total phase will reach its maximum at 20:31 local time and will be visible from the city, with the Sun at contact C3. At just 2.2° above the horizon, the celestial body will be very low: it is essential to have a clear view towards the west-northwest with no obstacles exceeding that angle.
August in Manacor follows the Balearic Mediterranean pattern: dry heat and generally clear skies. The risk of storms during that month is low according to historical records from the AEMET B614E station, which favours observing conditions. Although numerical data on temperature and precipitation from that station are not available in this calculation, the summer climate of the island tends to be stable and sunny.
The last total eclipse visible from Manacor occurred on 30 August 1905, 121 years ago, with a totality of around 2 minutes and 24 seconds. Before that, on 11 November 1901, an annular eclipse crossed the area. After the eclipses of 2026-2028, the next annular eclipse will not occur until 13 July 2075, and the following total until 17 November 2180.
At the moment of maximum totality, the Sun will be 2.2° above the horizon with an azimuth of 288°, an orientation corresponding to the west-northwest. That direction roughly means looking between due west and north-northwest, slightly shifted towards the north. The very low position demands finding an elevated location or one with the western horizon completely free of trees, buildings or terrain.

A solar eclipse is described by four key moments, the contact points between the discs of the Sun and the Moon:
Where the eclipse is only partial, the Moon never fully covers the Sun: only C1 and C4 occur, with no totality in between.

Yes — Manacor is inside the totality path and the horizon allows the total phase to be fully visible.
Maximum occurs at 20:31 local time (18:31 UTC) in Manacor.
Look WNW (azimuth 288°); the Sun will be 2° above the horizon at maximum from Manacor.
Totality lasts 1 min 37 s in Manacor (C2 to C3).
Manacor will see totality (C2-C3) very close to the western horizon. The partial end (C4) falls below the horizon: you need a clear western view for an epic experience.
Yes, you need ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses during every partial phase. Regular sunglasses do NOT protect. Glasses can only be removed during the totality phase (when the Sun is fully covered); never during annular or partial eclipses. Pages flagged "visible" assume a clear horizon, not a viewing recommendation.
For the August 12 eclipse. Recommended stay: Aug 10–14, 2026.
