When they are hungry?

Xabier

for dinner ??

Between 20h00 and 22h00 like the rest of Spain... usual in the Summer and most of the year in the Southern Regions people eat late because of the heat... so the siesta in the day

In Navarra... usual we eat around 20h00 in Winter and 21h00 in Summer

But my cousin lives in AlmerÃa in in Summer they will eat as late as 23h00 blÃ¤ it is terrible for the health to eat so late

summerr .

well when Im in Barcelona and LÃ©on during the summer we usually eat
Breakfast : at whatever time in the morning.
Lunch : Around 2:30pm - 3:00 pm or later
Dinner : 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Im guessing this is the standard time for most of Spain not just LÃ©on and Barcelona...

If you are eating at home, you would maybe eat between 9-10 pm. If you are going to a restaurant, you would make a reservation for 10:30 or 11 or 11:30, and eat for 2 hours.

This is because we eat a big lunch at about 2 or 2:30, and people work later in the day.

Spanish meals

Desayuno â€“ breakfast. Often just coffee but also frequently with some type of pastry, though touristy areas often offer toast (tostadas) and other heavier items.

Almuerzo â€“ mid-morning snack. For those having only coffee for breakfast, this light meal of a bocadillo or the smaller montado (or one of a number of varied options) is the only way to make it to lunch time. The timing of the meal depends on how early the person gets up but usually itâ€™s eaten a bit before noon. Beer or wine is a perfectly normal accompaniment.

Comida â€“ lunch. This is the big meal of the day and, in my opinion, the best time to explore the full richness of Spain culinary accomplishments. Give yourself two to three hours if you can.

Merienda â€“ tea. In Canada we donâ€™t have tea as a meal, but if we did, this would be it. A coffee and pastry is a common choice but there are no hard and fast rules and not everyone indulges.

Cena â€“ dinner/supper. No matter what you call it, itâ€™s the last meal of the day. Spainards eat late and light unless itâ€™s a celebration in which case they eat late and long with no hesitation when it comes to indulging in something special.

Churros, which are served for breakfast in most of Spain, usually last until 10am. They serve bread with tomato and olive oil as breakfast. No eggs/bacon/pancakes. Lunch will run anywhere from 11:30am to 2pm. Some go til 2:30. Dinner usually starts at 8pm. If by any chance you are in a tourist area, then you can practically eat the same time you do at home, but the food will be expensive and not as good. Tourist traps exist everywhere, eat where the locals eat.
