debbieamorenoSpanish time is alive and well in Spain and after three months, we are still adjusting. Here is the schedule I have sort of figured out – so far…. Most stores don’t open until 10:00-11:00am and then they close around 1:00-2:00pm. They open again around 5:00pm and close around 8:00pm. Restaurants are a totally different story. As for breakfast, I don’t know, we are not up that early anymore (have to love retirement). They start serving around 1:00pm until 4:00-4:30pm. If they remain open after 4:30, they will serve you a drink (coffee, wine, beer, etc.) and maybe you can get something sweet, but no food. They start serving food again around 8:00pm. Not exactly sure what time they close – we don’t stay up that late.
Since it doesn’t get dark until 9:30pm the later time schedule makes sense. We have fallen into the routine of eating our “dinner” or larger meal between 2:00-4:00pm, and then have something light in the evening. Love me some tapas!!!
