About Granollers Time Zone
Granollers uses the Europe/Madrid IANA time zone, the same time zone used across mainland Spain. Its standard time is UTC+1, known as Central European Time (CET), and during daylight saving time it switches to UTC+2, known as Central European Summer Time (CEST).
Daylight saving time in Granollers follows the European Union schedule. In 2025, clocks move forward on 30 March 2025 and move back on 26 October 2025, which affects international scheduling with countries that change clocks on different dates, such as the United States and the United Kingdom. During those transition weeks, the time difference between Granollers and cities like New York or London may temporarily shift by one hour compared with the usual pattern.
Granollers is in Catalonia, in northeastern Spain, not far from Barcelona, so it shares the same local time as Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, and most major mainland Spanish business centers. Neighboring countries and regions can differ: Portugal typically runs one hour behind Spain on Western European Time, while France, Andorra, and much of central Europe align with Granollers on the same CET/CEST schedule, making cross-border business and travel coordination relatively straightforward.
Granollers City Details
Granollers is a city in Catalonia, Spain, with a population of 60,981, making it a mid-sized urban center with active local commerce and strong links to the larger Barcelona metropolitan economy.

The country dialing code is +34, so international callers reaching Granollers from abroad should dial Spain’s country code before the local number.
Time Differences from Granollers
Granollers’ time difference with other major cities depends on whether Europe, North America, and Oceania are on standard time or daylight saving time at the same moment. Under the most common alignment when Granollers is on CET/CEST, the city is typically 6 hours ahead of New York, 1 hour ahead of London, 8 hours behind Tokyo, 9 or 10 hours behind Sydney depending on season, and 3 hours behind Dubai.
Here are practical examples using 9:00 AM in Granollers:
- London: Granollers is usually 1 hour ahead of London, so when it is 9:00 AM in Granollers, it is 8:00 AM in London. This is a good overlap for UK-Spain morning calls, especially for retail, tourism, and legal teams working across both markets.
- New York: Granollers is usually 6 hours ahead of New York, so 9:00 AM in Granollers is 3:00 AM in New York under standard winter alignment. A better cross-Atlantic meeting window is often 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Granollers, which corresponds to 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in New York.
- Tokyo: Granollers is typically 8 hours behind Tokyo, so 9:00 AM in Granollers is 5:00 PM in Tokyo. This can work for same-day coordination with Japanese teams if Spain meets in the morning and Japan joins late afternoon.
- Sydney: Granollers is commonly 9 hours behind Sydney during many parts of the year, meaning 9:00 AM in Granollers is 6:00 PM in Sydney. Because both Europe and Australia change daylight saving on different dates and not all Australian states observe it the same way, this gap can also become 10 hours in some periods.
- Dubai: Granollers is usually 3 hours behind Dubai, so 9:00 AM in Granollers is 12:00 PM in Dubai. That makes late morning or early afternoon in Spain a practical time for trade, shipping, and aviation-related communication with the Gulf region.
For business scheduling, the most convenient overlap from Granollers is usually with London and Dubai during the local workday, while New York is easier in Granollers’ afternoon and Tokyo or Sydney often require early-morning Spain calls or late-day Asia-Pacific participation.
