How Palencia's prayer times are worked out

From Palencia, the Qibla is 105° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,709 km (2,926 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Palencia's own coordinates (42.01°N, 4.52°W), not a national average. That is why Palencia's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Palencia timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Palencia lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 87 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:16 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 27m near June down to 10h 48m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Palencia 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 Valladolid, Burgos and Gamonal. Each is only a few minutes off Palencia's clock.
