Girona
11 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with SRTM 30 m.
In Girona province, totality won't be visible, but 11 of the 11 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to salt, palafrugell and girona as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places salt around 6% cloud cover, well below the Girona average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to palafrugell, where the topographic horizon sits at just 1.0° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
