Madrid's solar noon is around 1 PM during standard time and 2 PM during summer time, the rest of Spain is a bit off from this, and I noted when I lived there that the Spanish custom seems to be to keep later hours.
- nerdawson 5y agoSpain should be on GMT. It was a political decision by Franco to align timezones with Germany during WWII.
