After days of good tapas we decided to have a good full meal. Not a problem madrid is full of good resturants. However we made the mistake of going for dinner at dinner time, about half six.
We may as well have been asking the waiters for deep fried elephant foreskin.
"we dont start serving dinner till 8," was the universal reply," would you like some tapas instead?"
Hemmingway said Madrillenos dont go to bed until they have 'killed the night'. I was surprised to find it was true. Not only for food but also they wouldnt dream of going to bed before dawn.
We dont expect such a similar culture to ours to have such different customs when it comes to timings to eat and sleep.
