====Traditional mid-day break====
However, one of the interesting aspects of the Spanish work day and labor is the traditional presence of a break around lunchtime. It is sometimes mistakenly thought to be due to [[siesta]], but in fact was due to workers returning to their families for the main midday meal. That break, typically of 1 or 2 hours, has been kept in the working culture because in the [[Spanish Civil War|post-civil-war]] period most workers had two jobs to be able to sustain their families. Following this tradition, in small and medium-sized cities, restaurants and businesses shut down during this time period of 2-5 for retail and 4-8 for restaurants. Many office jobs only allow one hour or even a half hour breaks to eat the meal in office building restaurants or designated lunch rooms.

A majority of adults emphasize the lack of a siesta during the typical work week. Only one in ten Spaniards take a mid-day nap, a percentage less than other European nations.<ref>{{cite news |title=Spanish stereotypes: They love siestas |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/28/new-europe-spain-stereotypes-siestas |access-date=30 April 2020 |agency=The Guardian}}</ref>
