The eclipse and the sunset finish together here. C1 at 19:34 with the sun due west at 18.2°; totality 20:28:56–20:30:43 at 8°, azimuth 282.6°; C4 at 21:22 with sunset at 21:20 and only ~2 % of the disc still covered.

The shadow arrives from your right. The umbra runs almost due south at ~4,240 km/h. Salinillas goes dark 59 seconds before Lerma.

This is our region, so it carries hand-picked sites as well as the automated sweep, verified the same way and ranked in the same table. suggested marks a spot somebody proposed by name; town marks a settlement scored as a reference point rather than a place to stand.

Clearance = degrees between sun and skyline at totality. Sun visible to = altitude where the sun is finally lost. August sky = historical record, not a forecast. sight line = CERRA 5.5 km along the ray to the sun. overhead = ERA5 25 km above the site.
