I lived once in Ecuador. Pretty much the whole year the sun rises at 6am and sets at 6pm. I very much prefer Spain: in summer the sun sets at almost 10 pm at its peak… best summers of my life. I lived in Poland once too, where in winter the sun sets at 3pm: I wanted to kill myself
Summers in Spain, e.g. Madrid can be extremely hot. Having the sun not set until very late can create an unpleasant city life experience.
With people acknowledging heatwaves and energy issues, I find it interesting how that's seldom part of the conversation.
I miss sunset times from Spain. It makes days feel longer
