Municipalities in Navarra within the path of totality

Observation guide

A hundred and forty-one Navarrese municipalities fell inside the path, though Pamplona was not among them. The longest totality in the region belonged to Monteagudo, in the far south of the Ribera, at 87 seconds, just over a minute and a half. Navarre behaved like a gradient. Moving south towards the Ebro did not only add seconds, it transformed the odds of an open sky, which climb from around 15.5 % in the northern reaches to 53.1 % at the other extreme.

The consequence was that all five of the province's top-rated sites sat within a few kilometres of one another near Tudela. Monteagudo leads at 76.9, combining the 87-second maximum with 50.9 % clear skies. Tulebras (76.5), Ablitas (76.3) and Barillas (76.2) repeat the formula on 85 to 86 seconds and virtually identical sky records near 51 %. Cortes rounds off the group at 76.0, four seconds shorter than the leader but with the best sky statistic of the five, 52.7 %.

The Sun stood 7 to 8 degrees above the horizon at maximum, which made a clear west-northwest view the single decisive factor. Across the Ribera, with its gentle relief and open farmland, that was easy to come by. In the northern half, among valleys and sierras, it took real searching and the durations no longer justified the effort. Navarre's 30.1 % average comes from the 1996-2025 series and compares areas, it does not report that evening. The next total eclipse, 2 August 2027, does not reach Navarre: its path stops in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla.
