Intresting fact that may surprise you (part 2)

2.) Siesta in Spain - part of the culture and tradition!

Siesta in Spain is an indispensable part of the country's culture and tradition. The undoubted reason for this custom is the prevailing climate in Spain. In earlier times, Spaniards worked in rooms without air conditioning, what is more, no one even knew about the existence of this device. At noon the temperatures were so high that the Sun's rays could be dangerous to health, for this reason a break at work was a natural course of things. The body demanded rest and recovery on such hot days. In addition, it was worth teaking a break for a short nap after a hearty dinner. The official siesta hours in Spain starts at 14.00 to 17.00 p.m. However, in practice it can be vary and often it also depends on the season of the year. Some stores are closed earlier and some later. Everything depends on the preferences of the owner. Let's pay attention to the fact that if you were to arrange a meeting with Spaniard during siesta, then his coming on time, borders on a miracle.

Cheers! ;)
