Time in Spain
Time in Spain has two time zones. Spain mainly uses Central European Time (UTC+01:00) in Peninsular Spain, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. In the Canary Islands, the time zone is Western European Time (UTC±00:00). In both territories, Daylight saving time is observed during summer months, meaning that mainland Spain uses Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00), while the Canary Islands uses Western European Summer Time (UTC+01:00) between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Most of Spain used GMT (UTC±00:00) before the Second World War (with the Canary Islands using UTC−01:00). However, Spain adopted Central European Time in 1940 and continues to use it, with sunrise and sunset falling an hour later than GMT. Some observers believe that this time zone shift plays a role in the country's more unique daily schedule (late meals and sleep times) as compared with its European neighbors.
