Heat Mallorca will be broadcasting live from Cala Estancia as the Balearics experiences one of the most spectacular natural events in recent years – a total solar eclipse.

On Wednesday 12th August, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and the sun, plunging parts of the Balearic Islands into daytime darkness for a short period.

The eclipse is expected to attract thousands of visitors to Mallorca, with many making their way to the island's coastline for the best possible view. Authorities are anticipating exceptionally busy roads, and traffic restrictions are expected to be in place around Playa de Palma.

Heat Mallorca will be taking its studios on the road for a special live outside broadcast, bringing listeners the atmosphere, interviews and reaction as the event unfolds.

Our team will be on air throughout the evening with updates, information and everything happening as Mallorca experiences this remarkable event.
