When does daylight savings change an hour ("spring" forward) in Spain this year. I know in the US it is this coming (Palm Sunday) morning at 2a.m.

I arrive in Spain on Saturday laugh night and leave Sunday morning on a train to Cadiz. I'd have to miss the train by an hour because I didnt' set my clock properly. frown

I noticed that on Sunday (yesterday) where all the webcam clocks were reading one hour later! I was surprised and had to check several webcams before realizing it must have been the seasonal time change. Ours in the USA is this coming Saturday night. Thank goodness my Sunday flight to Madrid isn't until afternoon or I'd fear oversleeping! eek wink

Slaudos, MadridMan

The rule is as follows for all countries in the EU. The Daylight Savings Time:
- starts every last Sunday of March, when the clock is advanced from 2am to 3am.
- ends every last Sunday of October, when the clock is moved back from 3am to 2am. This means that every last Sunday of October there are two 2:24am, two 2:45am,... and so on.
