Santa Cruz de Tenerife
14 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with SRTM 30 m.
In Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, totality won't be visible, but 11 of the 14 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to arona, granadilla de abona and adeje as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places arona around 0% cloud cover, well below the Santa Cruz de Tenerife average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to guia de isora, where the topographic horizon sits at just -1.5° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
