One Summer we went to Spain before the DST issue got solved and because after arriving in Madrid it was 43° C we told ourselves “we’ll get up earlier and have a stroll around the city at 6am so it’s fresh” - it was DARK for hours 😂
Me and friends were joking about it was the country for those vampire movies where the night never ends
On the other side, those evenings with still a bit of sun at 10pm were awesome
Spain is quite far in the west of a too big timzone. In the summertime the solar noon in Madrid should be around 2:15 pm.
They aligned their timezone to Germany to make Hitler happy. Seriously.

I love Spanish timezone. During summer it gets bright right when you wake up and you get 5-6h of daylight after work. There’s time to go for a bike ride or for a hike or spend couple hours in the sun at the beach. In the middle of the week!
In comparison in Poland the day is longer but it gets bright at 4-5AM and it gets dark about one hour earlier.
The last point does not hold. Spanish people I know eat dinner at 11 PM and breakfast at 7 AM. And they live outside of Spain, the timezone issue does not apply here. Idk when they sleep (Siesta? Siesta in Sweden/Germany?) Please explain.
Yep, siesta. 1-2h after lunch. A lot of places close for 2-3h in the afternoon. Some people work 7:00-15:00 without lunch break. Over all a lot of people can take a nap around 16:00 and power up before going out at 21:00. Those who can’t don’t stay up that late. Sunset is around 22:00 so in many places at 19:00-20:00 it’s still hot outside.
Lies!
Spain in also in the wrong time zone. Because of Nazis.
