Watching from Jerez de la Frontera
Jerez is inside the path, but only just: the northern edge runs about 6 km north of the centre, so totality lasts about 1 min 30 s and the northern outskirts may get none. For longer, Cádiz (2 min 50 s) and Chiclana (3 min 20 s) are a short drive south. Check IGN’s municipal table for your exact address.

Where to look
At 10:46 AM the Sun is towards the east, 38° 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.
