Maximum in Barcelona This is the moment when the eclipse reaches its greatest magnitude while the entire Moon is above the horizon in Barcelona. The true maximum point of this eclipse cannot be seen in Barcelona because the Moon is below the horizon at that time.
Since the Moon is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-northwest for the best view of the eclipse.		Map direction West-northwest 283°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

The total phase of this lunar eclipse is not visible in Barcelona, but it can be observed there as a partial lunar eclipse. The Earth's shadow covers a large portion of the Moon, so this is still a nice sight.

Cloud Coverage (Feb 22)

In the past, this day was cloudy 59% of the time (since 2000).
