On 12 August 2026 the Moon's shadow sweeps across Aragón around sunset, roughly 20:25–20:35 local time (CEST). Because the eclipsed Sun sits low over the western horizon, where you stand matters — a hill to your west can hide the whole thing. Below are the best-rated viewing spots within about 50 km of Huesca, scored from sun height, an open western horizon (from a 30 m terrain model) and length of totality.

The total solar eclipse reaches Huesca on 12 August 2026 around sunset, roughly 20:25–20:35 local time (CEST). Totality at the best nearby spots lasts up to 1m 24s, with the Sun about 6° above the horizon. August skies here can be cloudy (~60% long-term clear-sky odds), so plan to stay mobile and watch the forecast in the final week. Never look at the Sun without certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses.
