The siesta probably began in Spain, and then spread to many Latin American countries. This, is a famous tradition throughout Spain, is the daily rest period, typically between 2 and 5 p.m., when Spaniards go home to eat, sleep and be with family. Many shops and public buildings close during this time to allow workers to enjoy a respite from the working day. In some locales, the break is a necessity, allowing workers to get out of the oppressive heat of the summer's sun and cool off before returning to work in the late afternoon.
I think that's the same as "la becaina" that we say here, in Catalonia. Do you agree?

I agree with you Paula.
ResponderEliminarI love this time of the day, because in my oppinion it's a relax time to rest in the bed. After that, you will feel energetic to continue with your job.

Uauuuuuu....What a good idea, nice resting for a while. A pitty that we cannot do it every day....
ResponderEliminarOh yes! I always wish that when we are in the school. For me, "La Siesta" is a primordial routine because I'm very lazy and I'm often tired. So, if I do it, I will be more rested.

ResponderEliminarI agree with Paula thinks about "siesta". Nevertheless I think we're loosing little by little this traditional culture. Only the holidays allow us this relax.

It demostrates the laziness of spanish people, but many persons dream to a good siesta after lunch.

I love this time of day, after eating that you stay relaxed on the couch with the TV mostly on. Plus it is very important to be relaxed to take a nap.
