Watching from Cádiz
Cádiz is inside the path but nearer its northern edge than its centre line, so totality here is shorter than further down the coast. IGN gives 2 min 54 s for the city. Head south along the Costa de la Luz and it lengthens: about 3 min 20 s at Camposoto beach in San Fernando, 4 min 10 s at El Palmar and 4 min 30 s at Bolonia. With the Sun 37° up in the east, any open beach or rooftop in the city will do.

Where to look
At 10:46 AM the Sun is towards the east, 37° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
During totality the sky darkens like late dusk, the corona appears around the black Moon and the brightest planets come out. The air often cools by a few degrees. Totality is the only time you can take your eclipse glasses off. Put them back on as soon as the first bead of sunlight returns.

Viewing safely
Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without suitable solar viewing protection. Eclipse glasses should comply with ISO 12312-2. Cameras, binoculars and telescopes need purpose-made filters fitted over the front of the optics.
