Sunrise today lands at 07:33 and sunset at 08:57 local time, giving 13h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.50, -3.34) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Alcalá de Henares.
The zone identifier Europe/Madrid is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Madrid keeps pointing at Madrid time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
