Historical weather data points to almeria, el ejido and adra as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places almeria around 0% cloud cover, well below the Almería average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to roquetas de mar, where the topographic horizon sits at just 1.5° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
