San Juan de Aznalfarache is located in the province of Seville and forms part of the metropolitan area surrounding the Andalusian capital, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. The municipality has approximately 20,779 inhabitants and sits 55 meters above sea level, on the left bank of the river. Its continuous urban fabric with Seville provides good accessibility and services, although the built environment can affect the observation of astronomical phenomena in certain orientations.
On August 12, 2026, San Juan de Aznalfarache will experience a partial solar eclipse with its maximum at 20:37 local time. At that moment, the Sun will be just 7.4° above the horizon, although calculations indicate a margin of 6.7° above the surrounding terrain, guaranteeing visibility if there are no artificial obstacles. The Sun's low position at that hour makes it advisable to choose an observation point with the western horizon completely clear of buildings and trees.
The reference weather station for this area from the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET), using data from the 1991-2020 period, records a low risk of thunderstorms in August. This points to remarkable atmospheric stability during the month of the eclipse, reducing the probability of convective clouds that could obstruct the phenomenon at the moment of maximum. For other parameters such as temperature or probability of clear skies, the available records from this station are limited.
The last total eclipse that darkened the sky over San Juan de Aznalfarache occurred on December 22, 1870, more than 156 years ago, with just over one minute of totality. Before that, on April 1, 1764, an annular eclipse covered nearly 87% of the Sun for just over four minutes. Following the eclipses of 2026, 2027, and 2028, the next annular eclipse visible from this location will arrive on July 13, 2075.
When the eclipse reaches its maximum on August 12, 2026 at 20:37, the Sun will be at an azimuth of 283°, oriented toward the west-northwest, and at a height of 7.4° above the horizon. That position, near sunset, concentrates the phenomenon in the lowest part of the evening sky. To follow it without obstructions in an urban environment like this, it is advisable to seek an elevated terrace or open space facing west-northwest.

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, partial eclipse: the Sun will be 95% covered at maximum from San Juan de Aznalfarache.
Maximum occurs at 20:37 local time (18:37 UTC) in San Juan de Aznalfarache.

San Juan de Aznalfarache is a good option (score 65/100): all eclipse phases are visible, though not the regional optimum.
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.
