My thoughts and experiences on living in Spain

Changing the clocks
Sunday, March 31, 2013 @ 1:01 PM

 

Sat this morning looking at the clouds and wind, and wondering should I go fishing, when I will be able to return to fishing. I stumbled across an interesting story. Before 1942 Spain was in line with GMT, but Franco changed the time as a gesture of solidarity to Hitler.

That explains a lot, the time zone issue explains why everything in Spain happens later, from meal times to the broadcast entertainment (primetime here doesn't start until 10 p.m.). The people are still living according to solar time, it's just the clocks that are out of whack.
