People visiting Spain for the first time can find it difficult to get used to the eating customs of
the Spanish. It’s not so much the food itself, but the timing of the meals that visitors aren’t used to. I
used to live in Cadiz myself for a few years and I actually quite like the way they do things. Breakfast is
a light continental affair - just a roll and some coffee usually - eaten between 8 and 9.30 a.m. The
main meal of the day is lunch, which people usually eat sometime between 1.30 p.m. and 3.30 p.m.
Quite a few of the shops, museums and galleries close around this time, because the locals like to
take time over lunch. They will rest for a short time afterwards, although the traditional afternoon
siesta is not as common as it used to be. People eat late in the evening - rarely before 9 p.m. and at
the weekend the locals often won’t eat before 11 p.m. or even midnight. This is a much lighter meal
than lunch - often just a few tapas taken with a drink.
