A partial eclipse never gets dark, even a deep one: one percent of the Sun is still thousands of times brighter than the full Moon. The corona, the stars and the 360° twilight only appear inside the path of totality. From Almería, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Málaga, 175 km away, where totality lasts 1 min 40 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Almería is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
