About Total Solar Eclipse — Bilbao

Bilbao lies squarely in the path of the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse — the first visible from mainland Europe in 27 years. For around a minute and a half the moon will blot out the sun over the Basque city, the corona flaring above the Guggenheim's titanium curves and the green hills of the estuary. It's a genuine bucket-list event, and northern Spain is one of the most accessible places on Earth to witness it, so accommodation will be snapped up months ahead. Stay in the centre and you're set for the eclipse and for Bilbao itself — the Guggenheim, the pintxos bars of the Casco Viejo and the rugged Basque coast beyond.
