How Santander's prayer times are worked out

From Santander, the Qibla is 107° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,697 km (2,919 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Santander's own coordinates (43.47°N, 3.80°W), not a national average. That is why Santander's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Santander timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Santander lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 84 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:14 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 47m near June down to 10h 41m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Santander 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 Torrelavega, Getxo and Algorta. Each is only a few minutes off Santander's clock.
