Leaving under cover of Darkness

We leave A Coruna at 6 am as we have about 14 hours of journey to make down to the Ria of Muros. We expect the sun to be rising as we leave but it doesn’t show itself until well after 7. Spain is an hour ahead of Ireland but we are in Galicia, which is on the same longitude as West Cork hence the late sunrise. In a few weeks time when we are just a little south of here the sun will rise to our expectations at around 6am -Portugal is in the same time zone as Ireland.
