Overview
- Spain’s daylight saving change, which takes effect Sunday, moves 02:00 to 03:00 on the mainland and 01:00 to 02:00 in the Canary Islands.
- In Mallorca, sunrise shifts from 06:41 and sunset 19:08 on March 28 to about 07:39 and 20:09 after the change, pushing light later into the evening.
- Doctors warn the shift can disrupt sleep and focus for several days, and farm routines like fixed milking times or animal feeding can face short-term strain.
- Spain’s energy agency IDAE estimates the switch saves roughly €6 per household each year, adding up to around €120 million nationwide.
- EU coordination sets common clock-change dates through 2026, and proposals to end seasonal shifts remain undecided despite recurring debate.
