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.
- Africa/Ceuta CET · UTC+01:00
- Atlantic/Canary WET · UTC+00:00
- Europe/Madrid CET · UTC+01:00
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.

How many time zones does Spain have?
Spain is split across 2 time zones, from UTC+01:00 in the east to UTC+02:00 in the west. That means the local time can be up to 1 hours apart between two cities in the same country.
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.
How to convert time in Spain
For a quick UTC comparison using the main displayed clock: 12:00 UTC = 14:00 local time, and 09:00 local time = 07:00 UTC. If Spain has more than one time zone, use the city and IANA zone links on this page for the exact local rule, or drop any two places into the time zone converter to get the answer instantly.
