\"\"If your current schedule relies on coffee to function any time before 12 in the afternoon no matter what time you went to be the night before, get prepared! You\u2019re likely in for a culture shock in Spain.<\/p>\n

You may know that the Spanish stay up late, as in, really late, but don\u2019t be confused. That doesn\u2019t mean they sleep in late, too. That\u2019s why you\u2019re going to have a few new favorite things before you start packing up to head home after your vacation. Things like coffee and naps. Yes, naps! Spain likes to party hard into the wee hours of the first hints of that beautiful Spain sun, but they also know how to kick back and refresh a bit the next day with a much needed siesta session.<\/p>\n

So, with that said, let\u2019s start with our list of what\u2019s going to help you get used to staying out late when you\u2019re in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stay Up Late, Get Up Early<\/h2>\n

Just because they eat dinner after 10PM and stay out late into the evening doesn\u2019t mean the locals sleep in any longer than the rest of the world. They\u2019ll be back up and at it bright and early in the morning preparing for work, school or anything else they need to get done that day. You\u2019ll likely be surprised at how capable they are first thing in the morning after getting an average of six hours of sleep a night, but don\u2019t be too fooled! There\u2019s a lot of coffee going into those happy smiles.<\/p>\n

But First, Coffee. (Or tea!)<\/h2>\n

\"\"We should probably point out that despite what you may be thinking right now, the Spanish are normal humans just like you and me. They aren\u2019t magical beings that can just thrive off of so little sleep. That\u2019s probably why you\u2019ll find no shortage of places selling coffee at all hours of the day. If you don\u2019t like coffee, you may want to consider relying on it at least a little bit while you\u2019re there. If it\u2019s an absolute no, then look for substitutes that have caffeine to get you going! Certain options may not be as healthy as others, but a pretty solid alternative could be a nice cup of tea to wake you up.<\/p>\n

Let your Couch Be Your New Favorite Place<\/h2>\n

Another secret to their ability to keep going throughout the day is this wonderful tradition called siesta. While a lot of people recognize this as an afternoon nap, there are some things to take note of. Yes, it is a nap, but no, it isn\u2019t a three hour long nap. It\u2019s about 15 to 20 minutes of pure bliss between you and the inside of your eyelids as you become best friends with nothing other than your villa\u2019s comfy couch. Nestle in with some pillows and blankets after lunchtime, set your alarm and smile knowing you\u2019re about to get some much needed siesta time.<\/p>\n

Eat, Sleep, Repeat.<\/h2>\n

And that\u2019s pretty much it! If you prep for your trip to Spain having a pretty good understanding that you\u2019ll be getting a lot less sleep than you\u2019re used to (hey, there\u2019s so much to see anyways, it\u2019s completely worth it!), you\u2019ll be set to go and enjoy your experience! Drink lots of coffee and partake in siesta every day and not only will you be well on your way to getting used to staying out late while you\u2019re there, but you\u2019ll also be joining in with the locals for an authentic Spain experience! But, if this just isn\u2019t appealing to you, we get it. Thankfully, you\u2019re on vacation. And that means if all you want to do is eat, sleep and repeat\u2026 then do it! Sleep in all you want, because after all, you deserve it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
