Also a huge difference between summer temperatures in, say, Galicia and Andalucía. Siestas make some sense in somewhere like Sevilla when temperatures top 40 degrees and it's hard to do anything anywhere that's not air conditioned, and particularly manual labour outside, but in Coruña when it's high 20s to mid 30s at most it's just not the same. (Although climate change is dragging both of those top temperatures up, so perhaps the siesta will start making its way north out of necessity...)
- swiftcoder 5mo agoOurense's ~40 C summer temps would like a word. North to south even just within Galicia makes quite a difference
- frereubu 5mo agoTrue, depends very much on where you are. The humidity in Ourense can be a killer - at least in Sevilla it's generally a dry heat.
- pseudohadamard 5mo agoComing from somewhere where high 20s is a scorcher, I would say that mid 30s is perfect for a siesta, except that it'd be too hot to fall asleep.
