They don’t really do this any more. In spite of the stereotype, only a tiny proportion of Spanish workers still takes a siesta, while otherwise the tradition has died out and schedules are just like in any other European country. It would be interesting to see if climate change eventually restores the tradition to life.
- fy20 3y agoI was living in the south west of Spain a couple of years ago, in a city with ~100k population, and they had a split day. Shops were open until 1pm, then they closed and everyone went to eat, by 3pm everything was closed and the streets were silent. In the evening everything would reopen. We had a pizzeria we liked, and it opened at 8pm and usually we were the only ones there at that time, as everyone else ate later :D Another interesting thing is during the summer it would reach 40C / 100F there, but AC in homes was very rare.
