If you decide to move to Spain in 2024there are some traditions you really need to know about.
One of Spain's most famous traditions is the siesta, although it's becoming increasingly neglected, especially in the cities. The rhythm of life in Spain is very different from that in France. The day is divided into two main periods: the morning and the evening, separated by a long break of two to three hours for lunch and rest, while the evening lasts well into the night, with dinner generally around 10 pm. This is followed by a highly developed nightlife. There's also a ritual that's widespread throughout the Iberian Peninsula: the paseo, a stroll between friends or family around 7 and 8 p.m., especially by the sea, which provides an opportunity for reunion and socializing.
Another Spanish tradition is the love of festivals. These are highly varied and original, often exuberant, whether religious or pagan, or based on ancestral customs. Each town celebrates its patron saint, providing the opportunity for shows, processions, dances, fairs and bullfights. Among the religious festivals, the most important are the romerías, which are pilgrimages to a shrine, usually in regional costume, accompanied by folk songs, but also the Assumption, which is an opportunity to celebrate the Virgin with festivities whose forms vary from town to town, or Holy Week, which gives rise to numerous processions to accompany the Passion of Christ.
