About the time in Catalunya
Around 8,012,231 people live in Catalunya, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 07:06 and sunset at 08:45 local time, giving 13h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.82, 1.87) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Catalunya.
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.
