The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Brazacorta (Burgos)
Burgos
Within the path of totalityBurgos has the most uneven internal climate of any province in the band: 41 percentage points separate its worst sky statistic from its best, from 13.4% to 55.2% for that date across the series running from 1996 to 2025. Brazacorta sat at the good end of that spread, with 54.8%, the fourth best of the 371 Burgos municipalities under the shadow.
The price was a slightly less open horizon than its Ribera neighbours enjoyed. Its 7.3 degrees of headroom over the western profile left it 229th in the province, the most modest position among this archive's Burgos entries, though it remains ample room for a town at 907 metres. Totality ran 104 seconds, from 20:29:16 to 20:31:00, and the observing index closed at 84.3 points. Baños de Valdearados, 15.8 kilometres away, got one more second of umbra and half a percentage point less sky. Here the Sun set at 21:17:39, 46 minutes and 39 seconds after the corona faded, over a landscape whose August norms run to 29.5 degrees by day and 15.7 at night.
