¿Se atrasa el reloj en octubre? Así afecta el cambio de hora al turismo en España

⏰ España adjusts its clocks on October 26, 2025, transitioning from summer to winter time. At 03:00, clocks will shift back to 02:00 in the Peninsula and Balearic Islands, and from 02:00 to 01:00 in the Canary Islands, per PCM/186/2022. For tourism, this change can confuse travelers, impacting flights and hotel bookings. The EU debates ending clock changes; a 2018 survey showed over 80% support abolishment, but lacks consensus. The last scheduled adjustment is October 25, 2026.
