class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The path of totality crosses Spain from northwest to southeast, passing through the city of Valencia and Castell\u00f3n de la Plana, but not reaching Gand\u00eda. From there, the eclipse will be a partial eclipse with very high coverage\u201499.9% according to the La Safor Astronomical Association\u2014meaning the sun will be almost completely obscured. The light will visibly change, shadows will become unusual, and some stars may be visible during the peak. The solar corona, which only appears during totality, will not be visible.   <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The first contact between the Moon and the Sun over Gand\u00eda will occur around <strong>7:39 p.m<\/strong>. From that moment, the solar disk will gradually be covered until its maximum at <strong>8:33 p.m<\/strong>. The sun will begin to reappear about 7-8 minutes before setting below the horizon.  <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">The best viewing spot in Gand\u00eda is the <strong>port&#8217;s inlet, <\/strong>with the western horizon open to the sea. Outside the city center: the end of Daim\u00fas beach towards Oliva, the Font d&#8217;en Carr\u00f2s mountain range, Covatelles peak, or Montd\u00faver\u2014always with a clear western horizon. The key is the same in all cases: the eclipse occurs very low in the sky at sunset. Any building, mountain, or tree to the west will block it.   <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\">If you want to experience the seconds of totality, the closest official viewing points are Valencia city and Castell\u00f3n de la Plana.

There is no safe moment to look directly at the sun, unlike in Valencia or Castell\u00f3n.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Glasses must meet the ISO 12312-2 standard.

None of them filter out enough infrared and ultraviolet radiation.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">If you want to photograph it with your phone, the camera lens needs the same certified solar filter in front of it.
