Moon in Barcelona — Did You Know?

  • ·Barcelona's La Mercè festival — the city's largest annual celebration — honors the patron saint of Barcelona on September 24, a date chosen in the 18th century to fall near the September full moon so that outdoor concerts in the Plaça de Sant Jaume and the Parc de la Ciutadella could be lit by natural moonlight as well as torches.
  • ·Barcelona's Montjuïc hill rises 184 m directly from the Mediterranean shore, giving it a remarkable southeast horizon over the open sea; from the Mirador del Migdia on the park's southern face, the full moon rises in winter directly over the Mediterranean, its reflection extending to the harbor entrance below while the illuminated Sagrada Família spires glow to the north in contrast.
  • ·At latitude 41.4° N, Barcelona enjoys a more southerly position than Madrid; in winter the full moon arcs through the southern sky, reaching a maximum altitude of approximately 72° — high enough to clear the Tibidabo mountain range to the northwest and illuminate the city's entire waterfront for most of the winter night.

Questions Fréquentes

Tonight the moon in Barcelona is in the Full Moon phase. It is 97% illuminated and 16.5 days into the current lunar cycle. Moon phases are the same worldwide — only the exact local clock time of moonrise and moonset differs by location.
The next full moon occurs on 30 mai 2026, which is 28 days from today. During a full moon the Moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth.
The next new moon occurs on 15 mai 2026, in 14 days. The new moon marks the start of a fresh 29.5-day lunar cycle and is not visible in the night sky.
A lunar (synodic) cycle lasts approximately 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes — or 29.53 days. It runs from one new moon to the next, passing through 8 distinct phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
No — the moon phase (the fraction of the Moon illuminated) is the same everywhere on Earth at any given moment. However, moonrise and moonset times, as well as the moon's altitude in the sky, vary by location. The moon also appears upside-down in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere.
The moon rises at approximately 22:06 local time in Barcelona tonight. Moonrise shifts about 50 minutes later each night as the Moon moves eastward along its orbit, completing a full cycle roughly every 29.5 days.
The next full moon on 30 mai 2026 is known as the Flower Moon. These traditional names — originating with Native American tribes and later adopted in the Farmer's Almanac — each reflect a seasonal event or natural phenomenon of that month visible from the Northern Hemisphere.
No — the Moon is currently at approximately 404,558 km, a typical orbital distance. A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon being within roughly 360,000 km of Earth (near perigee). The Moon's distance varies between ~356,500 km (perigee) and ~406,700 km (apogee) over each ~27.3-day anomalistic month.
From Barcelona at 41.4°N latitude, the full moon's maximum altitude above the horizon varies by season. In the local hemisphere's winter — when the full moon is opposite a low winter sun — it can reach roughly 72° above the horizon. In summer it arcs lower, around 25°. This seasonal variation is the same reason the sun is high in summer and low in winter.
The Moon's phase is identical everywhere on Earth simultaneously. However, its orientation in the sky differs by hemisphere: in the Northern Hemisphere the waxing crescent curves to the left; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves to the right. From Barcelona at 41.4°N, the Moon arcs through the southern sky. Moonrise and moonset times also differ by longitude — a city 15° to the east sees the Moon rise roughly 1 hour earlier.
