La+Siesta+9

= La Siesta  = === Spain's la siesta brings a feeling of calmness to the regular hustle and bustle of the day. La siesta is a rest or nap after the midday meal, or lunch. It takes place in the sixth hour of the day, that can be from one to three hours. There are two periods of la siesta in Spain. One, where the businesses and shops close down, and many people go to bars or restaurants. The second is when the bars and restaurants close, and then people mainly take a nap. Most businesses force workers to have an extended lunch break from 1:30-4:30 p.m., and then work until 8p.m. or later pushing their family time into the night.===

La Siesta History and Geography
=== La siesta is thought to date back to 1655, due to the comment about a midday nap in a letter found. This tradition dates back to when poor Spaniards would work two shifts, and take a rest in between. La Siesta is not only in Spain, but has spread to South America, the Philippines, the Middle East, and North Africa. La siesta is one of the strongest traditions in the Spanish culture. ===

La Siesta- A Tradition But Not Always A Nap
===La siesta has gone from a necessity to a luxury, and even just a habit. A reason that they take la siesta around two in the afternoon is because the heat is at its peak, and they are sleeping in the comfort of their home. Where the heat isn't such a threat, and because the working day is split up, the modern siesta is the time that working people go home and spend time with their family and friends, not just necessarily take a nap.===
