2026 Solar Eclipse · Hotel Faisanera Golf · Segovia, Spain
On August 12, 2026, at 7:30 PM, the eclipse will begin over Spain. At 8:31 PM, the Sun will completely disappear. A few minutes you will never forget.
A solar eclipse is unlike anything else. The light transforms, the birds go quiet, and suddenly everyone looks up. It’s one of those moments you can never truly describe until you’ve lived it.
At Hotel Faisanera Golf, we have prepared a complete experience to enjoy this unique moment from a privileged setting, with open horizons and the mountain sky above you.
Whether you stay overnight or not, we have thought of you.

7:30 PM The eclipse begins. The Moon starts to cover the Sun — partial phase. Time to put on your glasses and find the best viewing angle.

From History to the Sky: The Talk and the Eclipse
There was an eclipse that stopped a battle. Another that saved an admiral. Another that silenced an entire army. Ricardo A. González, a historical communicator and creator of the MUCAIN virtual museum, has spent years reconstructing these stories.
His talk, “Under the Signs of the Sky. Eclipses, Comets and Omens That Changed the Course of History”, is the perfect introduction to what comes next: knowing what you are looking at when the Sun disappears completely changes the experience.
At 8:31 PM, in the hotel surroundings, with an open horizon and the mountain sky above, it happens. Approximately one minute of totality. That brief, and that extraordinary. Among attendees, the author’s books will also be raffled — a memory of a night that needed nothing more.
Segovia and its surroundings: arrive earlier, stay longer
Hotel Faisanera Golf is located in Palazuelos de Eresma, less than an hour from Madrid. A peaceful setting surrounded by pine forests, with direct access to everything that makes this province so special.
The Segovia Aqueduct, standing for two thousand years without a single drop of mortar. The gardens of La Granja Royal Palace, with their fountains and peaceful silence. The Valsaín pine forests. The La Faisanera golf course. And Segovian cuisine — roast suckling pig, roast lamb, and La Granja beans — flavours you never forget.
You can arrive the day before or stay for additional nights. Check availability when booking.
