In Spain, we have spent a lot of time learning about the culture and a big part of that is food. In Spain, they tend to eat a smaller breakfast early in the day. Then they do not eat again until around 3:00 pm, which is very different than in America. Their version of lunch is a bigger meal, similar in size to our dinner. This meal can consist of multiple courses. After this, they do not eat again until 10:00 pm. This is their version of dinner. The people of Spain also stay up and out much later than in the United States which is why they eat so late. So far it has been a great experience!
