9 of the 97 places have no tide station close enough, or in the same body of water, to give their times: the nearest one, Cádiz, is 53 mi away on average. And we can't rely on the global tide model on this coast, so for now we don't show their tide. The sun, moon and spring tides on their pages are accurate.
