Dont Forget Clocks Go Back Tonight

Before going to bed to night dont forget to reset the clock for winter has arrived!

In the early hours of tomorow Sunday 25 October. At 3am in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, the clocks will go back to 2am, while in the Canary Islands they will go back from 2am to 1am, giving people an extra hour’s sleep that day.

It maybe unlikely but according to Spain’s Official State Gazette (BOE) of 2022 this could be for the final time.

The matter now remains for the European Union to reach a definitive agreement on the suggested abolition of seasonal time changes with the other EU states.

The Royal Decree PCM/186/2022, set out the proposed timetable until 2026 with its Article 5 provision stipulating that every five years a timetable setting out the specific dates for the time change will be published for the  purpose of enabling citizens and organisations to know the dates of the annual time change well in advance.
