IANA time zones in Spain

Spain maps to the following IANA time-zone database entries. Open any zone for its current time, UTC offset, daylight-saving rules and the cities and countries that use it.

Does Spain have multiple time zones?

Yes. Spain uses more than one IANA time zone, so the current local time can differ by city or region. For scheduling, compare the exact city on the world cities list or use the time zone converter.

IANA time zone Current standard offset
Africa/Ceuta UTC+01:00
Atlantic/Canary UTC+00:00
Europe/Madrid UTC+01:00

Why this matters

A country name is a broad signal. City and IANA pages give Google and users the exact time entity: place, time-zone rule set, UTC offset, and daylight-saving context.

Does Spain change its clocks for daylight saving?

Yes. At least part of Spain uses daylight saving time. The clocks jump forward one hour in spring and fall back one hour in autumn, so the UTC offset changes for part of the year. Want the full picture? Read our guide to daylight saving time.
