Don't despair. There's a big enough filter  waiting for you at the corner of the
street  or where you can find a Ferreter�a. There you'll find glass replacements
for welder googles (lentes de soldar).  The light produced by electric soldering
is quite rich in UV and IR and this filter can protect your eyes very good
against the sun as well.
Of course, the most common filter, the green, will introduce a colour cast but
you can get away with it. There're also silver plated, but here I could only
find small circles of 40 mm  diameter.
Here you can see my own try during  the solar eclipse of '99:
