Madrid, the Canary Islands and the Spanish Clock
Quick answer: Madrid uses CET (UTC+1) in standard time · CEST (UTC+2) during March-October.
Madrid uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer, changing on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Most of mainland Spain follows Europe/Madrid.
The Canary Islands are the exception. They use Atlantic/Canary, which runs one hour behind mainland Spain all year, so a Canary Islands contact at 9:00 AM is 10:00 AM in Madrid.
For the Americas, Madrid is the far end of the day. 9:00 AM in Madrid is 2:00 AM in January and 1:00 AM in July in Mexico City. In New York it's 3:00 AM.
