Eclipse 2026 · Spain
4 cities in Cantabria
In the Cantabria region, totality will cross 4 cities, 4 of them at sunset.
Historical weather data points to castro urdiales, santander and camargo as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places castro urdiales around 48% cloud cover.
The clearest western horizon belongs to torrelavega, where the topographic horizon sits at just 1.3° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.

| santander | Totality at sunset | 83 |
| torrelavega | Totality at sunset | 85 |
| castro urdiales | Totality at sunset | 60 |
