If it starts now(ish) and finishes at 11(ish) my guess is 10(ish) will be the best time to see it

But don't look straight at the sun or you could get

Almost perfect view from the office for us, and one girl's brought in a pair of "eclipse glasses" so we can all have a look. Light is starting to dim now, it's a bit like it's late in the evening with a low sun.

Well, now is peak time. There's a chunk out of the sun (we don't get the Ring of Fire, only Madrid get that) and the sunlight is like when you have thick clouds overhead and a gap at the horizon which the sun points through. Weird - looking out of the window, you think it's about to rain, but there are no clouds!
