FILE - In this Oct. 10, 2012 file photo, two workers take a nap on a roof in Madrid, Spain.

Until the 1940s, Spain was on the same Greenwich Mean Time as Britain and Portugal, being in roughly the same latitude. “We cannot lose contact with Europe. The rationalization of the timetables of work shifts and government institutions is of capital importance,” Spain’s acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said last April 2, 2016.
