Where to look
At 4:54 PM the Sun is towards the west-southwest, 9° above the horizon. That is low, so you need a flat, open view in that direction, such as a beach, a hilltop or the edge of town.
What you will notice
The light dims a little, though without eclipse glasses you might not notice. Through the glasses the Sun looks like a thick crescent at maximum.
For the ring of fire, the nearest place in this guide is Faro, 217 km away, with about 6 min 50 sec.
