About
La siesta, a midday rest practiced in Spain, has a long history rooted in the country's hot climate and has significantly shaped Spanish culture. The tradition, once a common practice, has been influenced by modern life, with urbanization and business pressures impacting its prevalence. However, research highlights potential health benefits of naps, and some Spaniards still incorporate a short rest into their day. While la siesta may be changing, it remains an important part of Spain's cultural identity.
