Experience the Total Solar Eclipse from the Heart of Mallorca’s Citrus Valley
On August 12, 2026, Sóller will witness a rare celestial event — a total solar eclipse — right from its sun-kissed valley. As the Moon gently veils the Sun, the Tramuntana mountains and the citrus groves will fall into a magical twilight, bathing the valley in an otherworldly glow.
For a brief 1 minute and 36 seconds, day will turn to night, the air will cool, and the colours of Sóller — from the deep greens of the orange trees to the golden tones of the stone façades — will transform under the shadow of the Moon.
Learn more about the 2026 solar eclipse in Mallorca and plan your stay to enjoy the magic of Sóller under the Moon’s shadow.
