Where to look
The Sun will be 38° above the horizon towards the east. That is roughly the height of a raised fist held at arm’s length, stacked 4 times above the horizon. Pick a spot with nothing tall on that side: a beach or hillside facing east is ideal, while narrow streets and tall buildings to the east can block the view.
Where to go for totality
The nearest place to see the total eclipse from Seville is Cádiz or Vejer, about 1.5 to 2 hours by road. If you can make the trip, leave the evening before: roads into the path are expected to be very busy on the morning of the eclipse.
