Remember that Spain uses Germany's timezone, which means you have to substract two hours to the clock to get the real solar time. So 9am is really 7am, 2pm is actually 12pm and you're sending your child to bed at 6pm, which is indeed a bit early, even for a 4yo.
Franco was responsible for this. He wanted Spain to be in same time zone as Berlin, to align with his ally Hitler. During WW2 Hitler also changed time zones in many European countries France, Holland, Belgium etc to align with Berlin. It has always amazed me that almost 100 years later, this has never been corrected. Madrid is only 3 degrees west of London so really should be on GMT yet Portugal is on GMT/BST as all these others Western European countries should be. It is why Spanish restaurants ( outside of tourist areas) open so late. Eating at 10:00pm is normal, because their body clocks say it is 8:00pm.
It was a genuine pleasure to see families dressing themselves and their children, some barely toddlers, very smartly and joining the reset of the community in local squares just to socialise in the early evening. I was raised in Ireland and England, and whilst mam always dressed us smartly, she never took us out in the evening. After we had our tea and did our homework it was off to bed with us. Mind you back in the late 1950s and early '60s we could wander unsupervised wherever our bikes could take us. If we didn't have school the next day we just had to be back for our tea. I often disappeared for for hours by myself just exploring, or snuck into a churchyard miles from home, a Proddy Church at that :-) just to throw sticks at to down conkers, or go scrumping . I remember three of the greatest presents I received as a child. The first was my first bike when I was 8 birthday. Back then Green Shield Stamps were a big thing. Mam filled 18 books of stamps to get me that bike:-) The other two wee Christmas present, the first was a Spirograph when I was 9 and the second was a watch when I was 12. We had less than kids have today, but we were loved and cared for. Seeing children being so included in Spanish life reminds me of what it felt like when I was young. Kids today are basically the same the same as they've always been, I can't stand when people of my age, 68, say they have an easier life. It a different time, and kids face different challenges. But in Spain the sense of community, especially in smaller towns seems to have been retained better. My God, I sound like my mam reminiscing about how she and her brothers went lamping for rabbits. Does any of the above make sense to you?
it does if you're a new born baby,stuck on a desert island with nothing else to do but read every day and you're expected to live for four thousand years!
I heard a proverb from my grandparents, and it said: the richest is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least. You only live once and in Spain we give more importance to life. We work to live, not live to work.
There is a saying in Spanish that goes, alla donde vas haz lo que ves, which refers to the fact that locals for generations adapt their schedules to the existing climatology and the ways of socialising in their community, with what is most rational in the place where they live. I invite you to have dinner before eight o'clock in the evening in August with the sun shining brightly in the sky and forty degrees Celsius, and then put your little ones to bed in those conditions.
You described my lifestyle, my culture. I’m enjoying listening to it. We like to have dinner super, super late and get up late too. Take life easy and enjoy it.
I've walked across Spain four times (Camino de Santiago) and I'm always amazed at the milkman deliveries early in the morning. Keep in mind, when hiking during the summer, getting hiking before sunrise is essential so my experience is more morning based. The fresh produce availability is also amazing.
It´s quite normal for kids to be playing in the streets while their parents are having a drink in the terrace of some bar even at 10pm in summer (of course the kids are always nearby and at sight). As for eating time, the truth is that we eat 5 times a day: desayuno (breakfast), almuerzo (around 11am), lunch (2pm), merienda (6pm) and the supper (9:30-10pm). In Spain, we value more our time with familiy and friends than living just to work. We work to live., not live to work ;)
😅 I live in the 🇺🇸 US , but I was raised in SPAIN 🇪🇸 , wish was a CULTURAL BLESSING !!! the HUMANITY & FAMILY ties & FRIENDSHIP are a PRIVILEGE!!! that you will FULLY APPRECIATE when you move OUT !!! 🎉
Europe has a culture, they have song, dance, architecture and food and they are proud of it. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it?
Very typical cultural shocks...I live and was born in Spain and i have dinner at 8pm...lunch at 1pm...It is also quite common. Difficult to generalize. Plus north is different to south, east from west.
It's not that everything happens late, it's that the clock is advanced by 2 to 3 hours year-round. Just buy another watch and delay it by 2/3 hours and follow that so you are in sync with your thoughts.
I'm never late. Never. And when someone is late, everyone thinks it is bad. I don't understand this opinion on the part of those who come to Spain. And where I live I can have a coffee at 6 in the morning. There are other worlds, but some of us don't know which ones others inhabit.

Yo soy español, del levante, y cuando suelo quedar, llego a la hora que he quedado, con máximo 10 min de diferencia por si hay tráfico o algo, y eso de que siempre vamos de punta en blanco o que no vamos con el pelo mojado, pues no es mi caso. Me gusta ir duchado a los sitios, eso sí, sin oler a sobaquin, y tampoco voy desnudo por la calle, pero voy bastante informal siempre y lo mismo los que me rodean... Lo de los horarios de comida es que nosotros comemos más tarde que el resto de europeos, pero tenemos nuestro desayuno ligero, sobre las 5:00-6:00-7:00-8:00, dependiendo si trabajas o no, luego, muchos disfrutan del almuerzo, sobre todo los madrugadores, y el almuerzo implica algo más consistente que el desayuno, como un bocadillo acompañado de aceitunas, cacahuetes, ensalada... sobre las 10:00 o 11:00. Con eso, se llega a la hora de la comida sin problemas, sobre las 14:00. Los niños hacen merienda, sobre las 17:00 o 18:00. Y la cena se hace tarde, sobre las 21:00 o 22:00, aunque la cena tiende a ser ligera, pero hay quien se mete un atracón.
What is "Cidy", the stuff that you are spouting only happens if you are foreign, you still think everything is the same as where you come from, exactly like Brits in Spain eating big fried breakfast and egg and chips, the only thing they do not remember is pub opening hours in the UK. Kids go to school at 7 am in Spain so lunch at 2pm is good. People working in the fields start at 6am and finish at 2. 30 go home and keep out of the hottest part of the day. It is sensible, no culture shock, if you been the 10 years you are used to it, i been here since 1988 and no shocks.
Istanbul is even later. Strangers may come to your door up to 2am. They sing loudly even later than that. Spanish produce is very good, but Japan's is even better.

It is clear that there is a very different way of understanding everything and it has a lot to do with the Protestant tradition of obsession with money, which is not so deep in the Catholic world, and the inhospitable climate of northern Europe which does not exactly help socialising outside your own home. The importance of the family is inherent to the culture of the Mediterranean Greco-Roman world to which, evidently, northern Europe does not belong more than by contact.
Smart dress codes only in medium to small towns where the likelihood of come across acquaintances is high and traditions hold better. Interpretation in the grounds of a legal framework? Well it is their job and income that is at stake. The more you sue the more the gain.
