Cambio De Horario
In short
Clocks in Spain have been set back by one hour this Sunday, 25 October 2026, marking the start of winter time.
In plain words
This is the seasonal adjustment where we change our clocks to match the daylight hours. We move the hands back one hour to enter winter time, which gives us an extra hour of sleep on the night of the change.
A simple example
At 3:00 am on Sunday morning, you turn your clock back to 2:00 am.
Why it matters
The shift can disrupt sleep patterns and cause tiredness or irritability. People with different biological rhythms, like night owls, may find it harder to adjust to the new schedule.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this autumn shift with the spring shift, where clocks are moved forward and an hour of sleep is lost.
