If you set the timezone to "Europe/Madrid" and sync with some ntp server. Your time is still incorrect? do you see CET or CEST in date command?

[andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ grep -i timezone /etc/rc.conf
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin"
[andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ date

make sure you don't use "-" but "/" to divide it.

If your hardware clock is set to localtime, changing timezones will need correction, as the hardware clock needs to be adjusted to the correct time. With UTC clock you won't have that issue, as the OS calculates the timezone in that case.
