Siestas

Are siestas a myth or a reality?In the past, the Spanish had daily siestas. This was more a habit for people working in the countryside who awoke extra early to work and avoid the heat.Summer afternoons in some parts of Spain are so hot it’s difficult to be outside between 2pm and 6pm. In such places, you’ll hardly find anybody out at that time and shutters are down to cool buildings inside. In this way, the afternoon is a good time to recover from the heat and have a siesta.A typical Spanish day in summer can look like this: work from 8:30am to 3pm; go out for a light lunch, then cool off at a beach or pool or go home and rest until 9pm. By 10pm you’ll be out for dinner, meeting friends and enjoying the cool nights until late. Then repeat; the best part of Spanish culture.#CZSPFTSWSLK#RPculturalheritage#acdlahoya#erasmusplus#cofundederasmusplus
