With the clocks set to go back this weekend, a British tourist hotspot is considering abolishing Daylight Savings.
The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has pledged to ask the European Union to get rid of the changing of the clocks.
He called the practice, which happens twice every year, outdated, inefficient and unhealthy.
In a video posted online, Mr Sanchez said: "Frankly, I no longer see the point. Changing the clocks barely helps to save energy and has a negative impact on people's health and lives.
"Science tells us that it no longer represents an energy saving, and what science does tell us is that it disrupts biological rhythms twice a year.
"It's common sense. We need a Europe that adapts to modern life, not one that makes us live by the clock."
The Spanish leader also claimed that a survey showed Spaniards and other Europeans to be against "overwhelmingly against changing the clock".
In 2018, an EU-wide consultation revealed 84 per cent of participants wanted to end the clock changes.

Currently, Spain and most of Western Europe is one hour ahead of the UK at all times.
However, if the move goes ahead then this will change, and the time difference between the countries will depend on the time of year.
Assuming Central European Time (CET) would be observed year round, Spain would be one hour ahead of the UK in the winter but be on the same time in the summer.
If Central European Summer Time was observed instead, Spain would be two hours ahead of Britain in the winter, and only one hour ahead in the summer.

Spain's Minister of the Presidency, Felix Bolanos, said this was up for debate, adding: "We need flexibility."
It is understood that Mr Sanchez's Socialist-led minority government will make the proposal to the EU Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council this week in Luxembourg.
The idea was previously debated in 2018 and then backed by the European Parliament the following year.
However, member states later abandoned it.

The Spanish opposition has accused Mr Sanchez of using the issue to deflect from problems within his Government.
The conservative Popular Party's parliamentary spokeswoman, Cuca Gamarra, said the proposal was "a decoy to try to change the political conversation in Spain".
She added: "No matter whether the clocks change or not, Pedro Sanchez's judicial agenda will be the same."
Donald Trump is another leader who has voiced his desire to scrap Daylight Saving Time.
Writing on social media in December last year, he said: "Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our nation."
The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the ritual "stupid".
