What you will see
Praia is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 07:25:43 local time, the Moon hides 31.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 06:37:29 and ends at 08:19:02, 1 h 42 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 15° above the horizon, towards the east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Praia.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,908 km north of Praia.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Moulay Bousselham, about 2,807 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 14 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
