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 Barcelona, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Mostaganem, 633 km away, where totality lasts 5 min 1 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Barcelona is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
