Permanent Daylight Saving Time: What It Would Really Mean for Mallorca

Answer

Could Mallorca test permanent summer time before Spain changes anything?

Mallorca is seen as a possible place for a pilot approach because it has clear seasonal patterns and strong tourism-driven evening activity. A trial would need proper planning, including school timetables, lighting, transport and data on safety and wellbeing. It would also have to be coordinated with national authorities, since the final decision is not made locally.
