The 2027 eclipse in Seville
From Seville, the eclipse will be partial: the Moon will cover 98.2% of the Sun at 10:47 (local time, CEST). Without totality there’s no corona and no nightfall in broad daylight. The nearest totality is in Jerez de la Frontera, 79 km (49 mi) away, with 1 min 35 s; in Cadiz, 100 km (62 mi) away, it lasts 2 min 54 s.

Where to see it total
Within 100 km (60 mi), the places with the most totality: Cadiz, 100 km (62 mi) to the south: 2 min 54 s; El Puerto de Santa María, 91 km (57 mi) to the south: 2 min 28 s; and Rota, 92 km (57 mi) to the south: 2 min 14 s. The farther south you go inside the path, the longer it lasts.
Seville is just outside the path: the Moon will cover almost all of the Sun, but not all of it, and without totality there’s no corona and no nightfall in broad daylight. The difference between an almost-total eclipse and a total one is huge, so it’s worth driving south: the path starts about an hour’s drive south on the highway to Cadiz.
