Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why is Sóller so popular for the 2026 solar eclipse?
Sóller is attracting a lot of interest because it sits on Mallorca’s west coast, where the viewing angle for the eclipse is expected to be favourable. The Tramuntana area also tends to have clearer air, which makes it especially appealing for people hoping for a good sky view. For that reason, many eclipse travellers are booking accommodation there well in advance.
