The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Estellencs (Illes Balears)

Estellencs finished first in the Balearics on 84.4 points without being the archipelago's longest totality: its 96 seconds placed it seventh, one second behind the maximum set by Algaida. What lifted it was the strongest sky statistics of the leading group, 65.1 % of clear days for the date, combined with 4.3 degrees of horizon margin. That margin looks modest until you remember the Sun was three degrees above the sea: any obstacle taller than that would have been enough to ruin everything. Andratx and Calvià, ten and eleven kilometres off, matched that duration precisely and fell to 73.9 and 75.4 points on margins of 1.3 and 1.5 degrees. The total eclipse was visible from Estellencs between 20:30:56 and 20:32:32, and the Sun set less than twenty minutes later, still eclipsed. The clear-sky percentage comes from the 1996-2025 series. The village sits at 321 metres, and the date turns wet there in 24.4 % of years.
