The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Burgos around Apr 22, with up to 18 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Burgos the radiant in Lyra climbs to 78° above the south-east horizon around 05:35. Local best viewing window: 00:40–05:35 CEST on the peak night, about 4.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 18 meteors an hour from Burgos under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: partial cover — worth checking again closer to the time.
