Spain uses the wrong timezone. It should use UTC instead of UTC+1. The map in the article shows that pretty clearly. That's at least partially the reason people have dinner so late in Spain. It's not them that are wrong it's the clock!
- derriz 8y agoYes - it used to be GMT. Franco changed it in 1940s to be in line with the German occupied Europe and it was never changed it back.
- magduf 8y agoNo, it's them, not the clock. The people of Spain are in control of their own clock; they're not a dictatorship any more. If they want a better timezone, it's in their power to make that change. If they're stupidly using the wrong timezone and eating meals at a late hour because of that, it's their own fault.
