There is a kind of slow life called Spanish style. In what aspects is Spanish slow life reflected?

After living in Spain for 5 years, I have a moderate understanding of this country. People always love to label things they don’t know much about, so Spain has a series of titles such as “Kingdom of Tourism”, “Gateway to Europe”, and “The Most Livable Country in the World”. As an old immigrant, I actually just want to tell you that Spain actually has many “faces” and it is ever-changing. We are all familiar with the passionate Spain, but have you heard of the lazy and slow Spain? 1. Lunch break in “Slow Spanish Life”

In the Spanish dictionary, there is a word that must be mentioned, that is siesta (lunch break). It is self-evident that lunch break is an indispensable part of Spanish life. .

In China, if you have a 2-hour lunch break, you are undoubtedly the envy of everyone; if you have a 1.5-hour lunch break, this is already pretty good. But the Spanish people’s actual lunch break will definitely surprise you: a 3-hour lunch break! ! !

If this were done in Chengdu, it wouldn’t be a problem to book a hotpot restaurant during work and at home. Not only is this the case, the Spaniards will continue to tell you with practical actions that they are definitely serious about lunch breaks. The lunch break is not just about lying down on the table and taking a nap. They regard the lunch break as a sacred thing. They must change their nightgown, pray, and then sleep well in bed for three hours before it counts. 2. Food of “Slow Life in Spain” Speaking of Spanish food, you may be amazed. Different from the Chinese who eat three meals a day, the Spaniards eat five to one meals a day, and even six meals are not too much for them.

Can’t believe it? Let me count them for you: Breakfast is at 6-7 o'clock in the morning, toast and coffee; second meal at 12 o'clock, bread with sausages and a cup of coffee; formal lunch at 15:00; dessert at 17:00 and drinking coffee; dinner is only served at 21:00. Lunch is a Spanish staple food. Because there is plenty of lunch break, Spain attaches great importance to lunch. Appetizers, meals, desserts, and after-dinner drinks are unchanging procedures. Appetizers usually include soup, fruit salad or vegetables. After tasting them one by one, the main meal is served, usually meat or fish, such as lamb kebabs, roast beef, and paella.

After the main meal, it’s time for dessert, and finally a glass of fragrant sherry is the ultimate lunch. I think of the way office workers in China wolf down lunch because they are afraid of arriving late. They really fail to live up to the special delicacies in front of them. 3. Vacation in "Spain Slow Life"

In Spanish, as often as the word siesta (lunch break), fiesta (festival) appears. In such a country where people are full of vitality, festivals are an indispensable element of life. There are many kinds of holidays in Spain, with about 200 holidays every year.

In addition to some major traditional festivals such as Christmas and Easter, each region also has its own unique festivals, such as Three Kings Festival, Running of the Bulls, Tomato Festival, Bonfire Festival, etc., all of which are rich in local culture. During holidays, Spaniards relax completely, gather with their families to celebrate the holidays, and do not entertain any customers.

This is Spanish slow life. This kind of "slowness" does not mean laziness, but it just shows that Spanish people value the quality of life. They prefer to enjoy life rather than being pulled forward by life. Although they did not make rapid progress, they were able to move forward calmly and leisurely.
