Santa Cruz de Tenerife
13 cities evaluated. Data based on the real-horizon model with the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM.
In Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, totality won't be visible, but 13 of the 13 cities surveyed will see a significant partial eclipse before sunset.
Historical weather data points to arona, adeje and granadilla de abona as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places arona around 1% 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 -0.7° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
