For UK visitors, the winter months are a dream: zero time difference means you get full value from your sleep schedule. You’ll be fresh for a 7am jog along the Avenida de las Playas before the crowds wake up.
In summer, treat the one-hour shift gently. Have a late lunch your first day, resist napping in the afternoon, and let the sun guide your bedtime. Within 48 hours, your internal clock will sync with the island’s mañana rhythm.
Pro tip: pack a cheap analogue watch. Set it to UK time and leave it in your bag. When you feel anxious about what’s happening back home, you can check it—or better yet, ignore it entirely and look at the real world around you.
