Imagine this: you’re in a cosy pub in Manchester, and you want to FaceTime your sister who’s sunning herself in Costa Teguise. You think, “I’ll call her at 7 PM.” But in Lanzarote, that’s 8 PM, which means she’s likely just sitting down for dinner. You’ll interrupt her plate of papas arrugadas, and nobody wants that kind of holiday drama. Knowing the hour gap helps you avoid being that person who calls during sunset cocktails or, worse, the afternoon siesta.
For those planning a trip, this time difference is your secret weapon for jet lag. Because it’s only an hour, your body barely notices. You don’t need a special app or a strict sleep schedule; you’ll just feel like you had an extra-lazy lie-in. It’s the closest you’ll get to a travel cheat code—no brain fog, just immediate holiday mode.
Hour change according to time zone
A Little Story to Make You Smile
Last year, my uncle booked a surprise birthday call for his wife. He scheduled it for 10 AM her time in England, forgetting she was in Lanzarote. At 11 AM local time, she was happily mid-exploration in the Timanfaya National Park, watching a volcano demonstration. His call jingled just as a guide was pouring water into a volcanic tube to show the heat. She answered with a “Hold on, the ground is on fire!” He learned a valuable lesson: always check the time difference, or you’ll sound like you’re interrupting an adventure. Now, he jokes that the one-hour gap is the universe’s way of saying “you’re on holiday—relax.”
This small time zone also means you can binge-watch the same telly. Your favourite British show airs at 9 PM in London, and at 10 PM in Lanzarote. So you can watch it live, then scroll through social media and see your pals back home reacting to the same scene, just an hour later. It’s like having a delayed front-row seat to the same gig, minus the queue for the loo.
