Burgos
3 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Burgos province, totality will cross 3 cities, 3 of them at sunset.
Historical weather data points to burgos, aranda de duero and miranda de ebro as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places burgos around 14% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to aranda de duero, where the topographic horizon sits at just 0.2° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
