Málaga
What time is it in Spain
About Málaga
Málaga sits on Central European Summer Time, UTC+2, six hours ahead of New York all year. Clocks fall back to UTC+1 on 25 October 2026, while the East Coast does the same — so the six-hour gap holds in winter too. When New York hits noon, the Costa del Sol is already at 18:00 with sunset still hours away. Andalusian shops often keep the split-day schedule: closed 14:00-17:00, then open again until 20:00 or 21:00, with dinner served closer to 22:00.
