Can you double check the setting of TZ ?  I think it may be set to
"Europa/Madrid" which is not a known zone so tzlibs assume UTC.

$ TZ=Europe/Madrid date
Sun 25 Jun 22:57:08 CEST 2017
$ TZ=Europa/Madrid date
Sun 25 Jun 20:59:54 Europa 2017

However you shouldn't need to set it as your system time is already
"Europe/Madrid" (note spelling).  To change the overall system timezone
on Debian/Ubuntu, best way is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata".
