Barcelona
42 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Barcelona province, totality will cross 1 city, 1 of them at sunset. The other 41 will see a significant partial eclipse.
Historical weather data points to igualada, martorell and sant andreu de la barca as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places igualada around 14% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to montcada i reixac, where the topographic horizon sits at just 1.2° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
