Alicante time zone and UTC offset
Clocks in Alicante are set to CEST, 2 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+02:00). Software that asks for a region wants Europe/Madrid — the IANA identifier for this zone.
Alicante observes daylight saving. The next change lands on Sunday, 25 October 2026, when 1 hour is added or removed and the abbreviation becomes CET.
Spain is not on a single clock: the 99 cities listed here fall across 3 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match Alicante.

Working hours that match Alicante
Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Alicante local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.
| Paris | 09:00–17:00 in Alicante | 8 hours overlap |
| London | 10:00–17:00 in Alicante | 7 hours overlap |
| Dubai | 09:00–15:00 in Alicante | 6 hours overlap |
| Mumbai | 09:00–13:30 in Alicante | 4.5 hours overlap |
No shared working window exists with Los Angeles or Sydney, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
