Eclipse 2026 · Spain
4 cities in Cantabria
In the Cantabria region, totality will cross 4 cities, 3 of them at sunset. The other 0 cities will see a significant partial eclipse.
Historical weather data points to torrelavega, santander and castro urdiales as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places torrelavega around 99% cloud cover, well below the Cantabria average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to torrelavega, 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.
