El ritmo de vida 

Spanish timming and rythym are clearly differents that french one ! When we are going on holidays, it can be enjoyable to have lunch at 4PM and go shopping until 9PM, but when we have school it is more complicated. 

I’m in Madrid since almost 3 months now, but I’m always keeping french timming in my mind. It’s undeniable spannish peope are much more relax than us, never in a hurry, speak very loud. But their love of life rectify everything. Spanish people will always be here if you have a problem, in class, in the street, … 

Hours 

In France, we have lunch around 12AM or 1PM. In spain they have lunch between 2 or 3PM until 4 or 5PM. The first time I went to a restaurant, I arrived around 12PM and it was totaly empty, but when I left at 2 :30PM the restaurant was full. 

And all the stores have the same timing. It’s close between 1PM and 4PM, and it’s open until 9 or 10 PM. 

For my clases, it starts much later than in France (around 2 or 3 PM) but ends much later too (around 8 or 9PM). And spannish people always make long pauses between the clases. 

So I would say that it’s very easy to take spannish timing, but less to re-adapt ourselves to the French timing
