Granada
6 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Granada province, totality won't be visible, but 6 of the 6 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to granada, almunecar and loja as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places granada around 0% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to armilla, where the topographic horizon sits at just 0.0° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
