Yes, partial eclipse: the Sun will be 70% covered at maximum from Tacoronte.
Maximum occurs at 19:53 local time (18:53 UTC) in Tacoronte.
Look West (azimuth 281°); the Sun will be 11° above the horizon at maximum from Tacoronte.
Tacoronte is a good option (score 55/100): 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.
