The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Valdefresno (León)

Nine point three degrees. That is the horizon clearance the terrain model computed for Valdefresno: the widest of the five municipalities heading the Leon index and twenty-ninth of the 211 the province placed in the band, half a degree above the provincial median. It means that at maximum, between the Sun and the outline of the ground towards the west-northwest, more than nine degrees of open air remained, almost twice what many points on the Mediterranean stretch had.

The rest of its figures are solid without being spectacular: 55th of 211 for duration, at 105 seconds; 55th for sky as well, on a 49.4% clear-day share; 884 metres of altitude. Together they make 83.0 points and fifth place in Leon. It lies nine kilometres from the provincial capital, with which it shares an almost identical clock, totality from 20:28:15 to 20:30:00, and which it beats in the index precisely because of that cleaner skyline and nearly three points of better sky statistics. The eclipse closed at 21:22:01 with the Sun still up.
