In Spain, they eat much later than in the rest of Europe. You’ll find restaurants often opening as late as 3 or 4 pm for lunch and 8 or 9pm for dinner. Although, nowadays many restaurants are opening all day long to cater for the overseas crowds. Either way, most bars and restaurants serve small plates called “tapas” all day long.

Spanish food is one of the most well known and highly admired foods in the world. They still don’t have the same anti-smoking laws you’d find in the rest of Europe, so you won’t find “No Smoking” sections in most of the restaurants and bars.
