A Sea View in Banyalbufar, Mallorca

The town of Banyalbufar, on the northwest coast of Mallorca, enjoys an elevated position overlooking the Mediterranean – a perfect spot to view a near-sunset total eclipse.

Areas farther inland, southeast of the rugged hills that stretch along this coast, face a more challenging and risky situation with respect to viewing the entirety of the eclipse. See the eclipse-aware shadow map for Palma to learn more.

But those with clear ocean views in the right direction need worry only about the potential of clouds to interrupt proceedings. Check out the location in TPE here.
