The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Castroverde de Campos (Zamora)

Castroverde de Campos set the Zamora maximum with 1m 29s of totality, twenty-four seconds above the median of the 183 Zamora municipalities the band left inside. That also put it at the head of the provincial index on 79.2 points, and it got there despite holding the narrowest horizon margin of the top five: 8.7 degrees, against Villanueva del Campo's 9.3. In Tierra de Campos that distinction is almost rhetorical, since we are talking about a cereal plateau at 734 metres where the relief obstructed nobody, and so the order was settled by seconds and by sky. Its 56.2 % of clear days for the date is the second best of the five. One detail sets Zamora apart from the rest of the path: here the eclipse did end before sunset, at 21:22:52, so the partial phase could be followed all the way through. The cloud data average the 1996-2025 period.
