So, do the clocks go back in Tenerife? Yes, absolutely. On the last Sunday of October, you get a bonus hour of sleep, and the sun still sets at a reasonable hour. It’s basically the most forgiving time change in Europe.
If you’re booking a trip, just remember: Winter = same as UK. Summer = same as UK. Always one hour behind mainland Spain. If you forget, just look at the altitude of the sun—if it’s too bright and warm, you’re in Tenerife. If you’re shivering under grey clouds, you’re probably in London. And if you’re confused, just order a mojito and wait for time to sort itself out. It always does.
Now go pack. Your watch—and your sanity—will thank you. 🍹
