Eclipse 2026 · Spain
15 cities in Castilla-La Mancha
In the Castilla-La Mancha region, totality will cross 3 cities, 3 of them at sunset. The other 12 cities will see a significant partial eclipse.
Historical weather data points to puertollano, cuenca and villarrobledo as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places puertollano around 0% cloud cover, well below the Castilla-La Mancha average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to valdepenas, where the topographic horizon sits at just -0.2° altitude at the evaluated contact — a critical figure for catching C4 with the Sun very low in August 2026.
