Eclipse 2026 · Spain
15 cities in Castile and León
In the Castile and León region, totality will cross 13 cities, 10 of them at sunset. The other 2 will see a significant partial eclipse.
Historical weather data points to salamanca, zamora and avila as the clearest spots: climatology (median p25-p75 cloud cover at sunset in August, Open-Meteo ERA5) places salamanca around 2% cloud cover, well below the Castile and León average.
The clearest western horizon belongs to aranda de duero, 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.
