The August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse in Valladolid (Valladolid)

Some capitals land at the exact centre of their province in the statistics too. Valladolid logged 88 seconds of totality against a median of 87 across the 225 Valladolid municipalities under the shadow: the city sat just above the halfway line, in 109th place, fifteen seconds off the provincial ceiling and 58 kilometres from the town that topped the index.

What it did have that was exceptional was the clock. Its totality was the latest of the Castilian entries in this archive, from 20:29:47 to 20:31:15, after 55 minutes and 22 seconds of partial phase; and the Sun then stayed above the horizon for a further 51 minutes and 41 seconds, until 21:22:56, the longest stretch of daylight of any entry here with a recorded sunset. On every other count the capital was unremarkable: a 52.4% clear rate for the date in the thirty-year average, 178th in the province, with 6.9 degrees of horizon clearance at 743 metres of elevation.
