In Cáceres province, totality won't be visible, but 4 of the 4 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to plasencia, don benito and villanueva de la serena as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places plasencia around 0% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to don benito, where the topographic horizon sits at just 0.3° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
