Prayer Times in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Santa Cruz de Tenerifeprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (28.4682°N, 16.2546°W) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Spain. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Santa Cruz de Tenerife's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Santa Cruz de Tenerife prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Santa Cruz de Tenerife's prayer times are worked out
Santa Cruz de Tenerife sits 5,659 km (3,516 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 85° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Spain follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 32m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 44m in December: a swing of 3h 48m across the year. That spread is set by Santa Cruz de Tenerife's latitude (28.47°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Santa Cruz de Tenerife does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Atlantic/Canary time zone, the sun peaks about 73 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 2:12 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are La Laguna, Arona, Centro — close enough that their times differ from Santa Cruz de Tenerife's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Spain
Spain has no single official prayer timetable. The Comisión Islámica de España — the state's legal interlocutor for Muslim affairs under the 1992 Cooperation Agreement (Law 26/1992) — publishes the calendar of religious festivities, while daily times are set mosque by mosque. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Spain's Muslim community numbers about 2.4 million (UCIDE study, end of 2023), its largest group Moroccan — so Maliki practice dominates, and the standard first-shadow Asr shown here matches what most Spanish mosques announce. Clocks shift with the EU: forward the last Sunday of March, back the last Sunday of October, moving Maghrib by an hour each time.
From the M-30 Mosque to al-Andalus
Madrid's Islamic Cultural Centre — the "M-30 Mosque", inaugurated in 1992 — is the largest mosque complex in Spain, and Granada's Mezquita Mayor, opened in 2003 on the Albaicín's Plaza San Nicolás facing the Alhambra, was the first mosque built in that city since 1492. The deeper history is everywhere: Córdoba's Mezquita, begun in 785-786 under Abd al-Rahman I, remains one of Islamic architecture's supreme monuments — though it has been a Catholic cathedral since 1236, so visiting Muslims pray at the city's local mosques rather than inside it. Eight centuries of al-Andalus left Spain with an Islamic architectural heritage unmatched in Western Europe.
