The 18.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 74 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:14 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 134 minutes and pushing solar noon to 14:14.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Granada the sun comes up earliest on 14 June at 06:53, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 21:39.
