They are meal hours.

Actually, 2100 for census may be a tad early sir southern Spain.

Everyone loves to receive tips. Some people may not know how to express their gratitude for the gesture but it doesn’t mean the tourists have to be cheap and believe such a lie.
A job offer in Spain is made with a wage and a heads up on the POTENTIAL TIPS!

Can’t wait to visit Madrid. I’m guessing getting adjusted to the eating times is going to be interesting.

Thanks for your feedback. I love your list of prices for each meal. That’s very helpful. And we agree, Valencia is spectacular!

We usually do 5 meals a day:
7.00 breakfast (desayuno)
10.30 light meal (almuerzo)
14.00 lunch (comida)
18.00 light meal (merienda)
21.00 dinner (cena)
If you are a foodie you will love Spain. Olive oil is a pleasure and we eat it pure with toasted bread and tomato. We love it in almost every state of Spain.
Don’t miss the east area with Valencia city as main trip. Its beaches, great weather and lovely towns are a must to visit.
Happy travels!

I agree with the points listed above. Before my trip to Spain, I prepared a list of places to visit and it was unrealistic. It looked like I will have enough time to visit all the places I have planned, but I was wrong.

I had only 3 days in Barcelona, 2 days in Madrid and more than 15 places on the list. Luckily, I found a great travel guide on one of online platforms and he helped me to figure out the best places to see while in Barcelona. I always educate myself and prepare for a trip, but he told me a lot of new fun facts about his city. Highly recommend contacting him: https://www.showaround.com/locals/gerardo-barcelona-spain-9737397. BTW, he does it for free, just because he loves sharing knowledge about Barcelona.
