Español Santillana High School Level 2 Activity
La siesta
In Spain, people typically have lunch at 2:00 p.m. In smaller cities and towns, stores and businesses close at lunchtime. Some people return home to eat, while others choose to go to restaurants. Businesses reopen around 5:00 p.m. In larger cities, the siesta is not practiced as frequently and many businesses remain open. Most stores and businesses are closed on Sundays, even in major cities, because it is considered a day of rest.
