Time zones and when to call
Spain runs on CET despite sitting geographically west of London, so the social day runs late: lunch at 2 PM, dinner at 9 PM, and business calls before 10 AM are optimistic.
The cheapest ways to call Spain
Carrier international rates are the most expensive way to make this call. If the person you're calling uses WhatsApp or Telegram, an app-to-app call is free over any internet connection. To reach a regular Spain phone number, use a VoIP service or call straight from a web dialer: our guides to calling from your computer and calling from your browser cover the options, and free online calls explains what the free routes really cost.
