The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Languilla (Segovia)
Segovia
Within the path of totalityLanguilla and Aldealengua de Santa María tied on 81.6 index points and on 100 seconds of totality; the tiebreak lies in decimals the index never shows. Look at the skyline, though, and Languilla came out ahead: 7.2 degrees of clearance, the most generous figure among the five north-eastern Segovian municipalities, under a disc that at 20:30:35 stood only 8 degrees high. Its 983 metres are also the highest ground in the group, and at that hour every metre counted, because the event was won or lost on the terrain line rather than on the map of the band.
Totality ran from 20:29:45 to 20:31:25. The Sun set at 21:17:20, the earliest sunset of the quintet, with the partial phase still running and no closing time in the record. The 50.9 % of clear days the climate model assigns it summarises the 1996-2025 period and does not describe that evening: no weather observation from 12 August 2026 is held here.
