I learned recently that Spain uses the same timezone as Germany (GMT+2 currently, according to Google) despite the GMT line passing through Spain. I've visited Spain and did feel like we ate late, but the timezone being "wrong" has made me wonder if it would have felt as late if I knew about their timezone while I was there!

I live in Switzerland and it's much easier to wake up early here than in northwestern Spain where I live before. The difference in real time can be like an hour and a half. Once you know it, it's true, you notice it more.
