 Breakfast (El Desayuno)
 In Spain, breakfast (el
desayuno) is the smallest
meal of the day. It is typically light and more like
a continental breakfast than anything else.
 Little Meals (Tapas)

Tapas are eaten well after breakfast but before
the big mid-afternoon lunch. They are small
plates like canapés or finger food and may be
warm or cold dishes. Tapas vary greatly from
region to region and season to season.

 Lunch (La
Comida)
 The midday meal or
la comida, as it is called in
Spain, is the largest meal of the day. It is definitely a
big meal and typically includes multiple courses and
wine.
 Since Spanish lunches are always large, and courses
come one at a time, it is important to pace yourself.
Like Italians, Spaniards believe in taking their time
and enjoying their meals. That is why you can expect
lunch to last an hour and a half or longer.
 Traditionally, Spaniards have a two- to three-hour
break from work or school in order to enjoy lunch.
They also take a short nap or siesta. Essentially, the
entire country closes up shop from about 1:30 to
4:30 p.m.
 The siesta is a tradition that goes back centuries
from the days when most people worked in
agriculture and air conditioning did not exist. It is
easy to understand why folks needed fuel from a
large meal as well as a rest from the hot Spanish sun
before returning to work. Everyone in Spain enjoyed
this afternoon break from school kids to shop
workers and government officials.

 Snack (La
Merienda)
 The late-afternoon snack in Spain is
called la merienda. It is necessary since
there are typically five or six hours
between lunch and dinner. La merienda
is especially important to children, who
always seem to have lots of energy to
play soccer in the streets and other fun
activities.
 Snacktime can be anything from a piece
of French-style bread with a piece of
chocolate on top or bread
with chorizo sausage, ham, or salami. It is
eaten around 4:30 or 5 p.m. Dinner isn't
served for at least another three or four
hours. Nobody worries that this snack
will ruin their appetite.

 Dinner (La
Cena)
 Dinner (la cena) is a significantly lighter
meal than lunch. It is generally eaten
between 9 p.m. and midnight. The
portions served at dinner are usually
smaller, and plates are much simpler.
 Dinner might include fresh fish or seafood
or a portion of roast chicken or lamb with
fried potatoes or rice. An omelet and fish
with a green salad on the side are also
quite common.
 A simple and quick dish, commonly eaten
at dinner is arroz cubano, a mound of
white rice, topped with tomato sauce and
a fried egg. Green salad and a vegetable
dish are standard at both lunch and
dinner. A lighter dessert of fresh fruit
or flan (Spanish vanilla custard) may also
be eaten.
