    One Summer we went to Spain before the DST issue got solved and because after arriving in Madrid it was 43° C we told ourselves “we’ll get up earlier and have a stroll around the city at 6am so it’s fresh” - it was DARK for hours 😂

    Me and friends were joking about it was the country for those vampire movies where the night never ends

    On the other side, those evenings with still a bit of sun at 10pm were awesome

      Spain is quite far in the west of a too big timzone. In the summertime the solar noon in Madrid should be around 2:15 pm.

      I love Spanish timezone. During summer it gets bright right when you wake up and you get 5-6h of daylight after work. There’s time to go for a bike ride or for a hike or spend couple hours in the sun at the beach. In the middle of the week!

      In comparison in Poland the day is longer but it gets bright at 4-5AM and it gets dark about one hour earlier.
