Yes, but marginally: with 99.8% obscuration, the topographic horizon from Zarautz is very close to the Sun's altitude at the end.
Maximum occurs at 20:27 local time (18:27 UTC) in Zarautz.
Look WNW (azimuth 283°); the Sun will be 8° above the horizon at maximum from Zarautz.
Zarautz can see the eclipse with limitations (score 45/100): terrain, geometry, or climatology add risk. Consider moving to a higher-scored viewpoint.
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.
