Plaza de la UNESCO in Aranjuez at dusk, set up for a concert and solar eclipse viewing.

The Aranjuez City Council has organized a special event for August 12th, coinciding with the partial solar eclipse visible from Spain, which will include live music at the Plaza de la UNESCO.

The Plaza de la UNESCO, noted for its spaciousness and orientation, will be the stage where science and music will unite to observe the astronomical phenomenon.
The program will begin at 7:00 PM with a performance by Patri Enar, singer of Vaya Movida, who will entertain the crowd before the eclipse. The first contact of the Moon with the Sun is expected around 7:40 PM, with maximum obscuration occurring at approximately 8:30 PM.
Following the peak moment, at 8:40 PM, the concert by the band Vaya Movida will commence, concluding an event designed for family enjoyment.

"It is essential to use certified glasses for observing the eclipse, as looking directly at the Sun without adequate protection can cause irreversible vision damage."

Aranjuez City Council
The Council has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to the four previous informational sessions about the eclipse, organized in collaboration with the Agrupación Astronómica Madrileña (Madrid Astronomical Association). All sessions were at full capacity, allowing attendees to learn about the phenomenon and receive certified glasses.
This initiative is part of the Aranjuez City Council's commitment to bringing scientific outreach to citizens through participatory activities, while promoting the enjoyment of one of the year's most significant astronomical events in a privileged setting.
