The Costa Blanca Leader newspaper presents its latest edition, 1140, spanning August 10-16, 2026. This edition focuses on English-language news, sports, and events from the southern Costa Blanca region and the Mar Menor area. Residents and visitors in the Costa Blanca can anticipate a series of remarkable astronomical events throughout the month.
The excitement kicks off on Wednesday, August 12, as the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, creating a total solar eclipse. While the eclipse will be total in northern Spain, the Costa Blanca finds itself just outside the path of totality. Despite this, observers in Alicante province will witness a captivating partial eclipse, with nearly the entire solar disc obscured shortly before sunset.
To help readers make the most of this celestial spectacle, the newspaper provides a comprehensive guide detailing the 10 best viewing sites in the Vega Baja region. This guide ensures that enthusiasts can optimize their experience and witness this awe-inspiring event firsthand.
