The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Espinosa de Cerrato (Palencia)

Eleven kilometres separate Espinosa de Cerrato from Antigüedad, and in the data they are practically the same place: identical totality duration, 105 seconds; identical clear-sky share, 53.6%; identical final score, 84.3. They tied at the head of Palencia's 191 band entries, and any tiebreak would have to be sought in the decimals.

Where they do differ is in two details the formula does not weight so heavily. Espinosa records 30.8% of Augusts with rain against its twin's 29.1%, and its horizon clearance is 8.0 degrees, six tenths less, though with eight degrees of Sun both values are comfortable for a province with no mountain range nearby. Its clear-sky share ranks twentieth of the 191, two places behind Antigüedad on figures rounded to the same tenth. Totality ran from 20:28:59 to 20:30:44, and sunset arrived at 21:20:29 with the eclipse still open. At 895 metres, Espinosa sits in the upper third of eclipsed Palencia, whose median altitude is around 841 metres.
