The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Baños de Valdearados (Burgos)

Sort all 3,963 Spanish municipalities inside the band by observing index and Baños de Valdearados comes fourth, on 84.5 points. Only Torreblanca, in Castellón, and two other Burgos villages stood ahead of it. That result was not built on a single strength but on the absence of weaknesses.

Totality lasted 105 seconds, from 20:29:13 to 20:30:58, a figure 76 municipalities in the province matched; its sky statistic, 54.3% of those dates clear across three decades of record, ranked fourteenth in Burgos, a province spread between a low of 13.4% and a high of 55.2%; and its horizon clearance reached 7.7 degrees, almost twice the altitude the Sun held at maximum. At 884 metres above the Duero, the plain opened out towards the west-northwest, and a mean cloud cover of 33.2% with typical highs of 28.5 degrees rounds out an unremarkable but reliable August profile. The partial phase had been running for 54 minutes and 55 seconds before the umbra arrived, and the Sun set at 21:18:31, more than 47 minutes after daylight returned, with the eclipse still unfinished.
