How prayer times in Bilbao change through the year
Prayer times in Bilbao vary a lot between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at about 4:11 AM and Maghrib at 9:55 PM, giving a day of 15 h 24 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:57 AM and Maghrib to 5:39 PM, and the day lasts only 8 h 59 min.
