Córdoba
7 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Córdoba province, totality won't be visible, but 7 of the 7 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to cordoba, lucena and ecija as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places cordoba around 0% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to lucena, where the topographic horizon sits at just -0.4° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
