How Gijón's prayer times are worked out

From Gijón, the Qibla is 106° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,843 km (3,009 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gijón's own coordinates (43.54°N, 5.66°W), not a national average. That is why Gijón's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Gijón timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Gijón lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 91 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:29 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 48m near June down to 10h 40m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Gijón come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Avilés, Oviedo and León. Each is only a few minutes off Gijón's clock.
