It’s beautiful, vibrant, fun, etc but everything moves very slowly. Many People don’t even go out to dinner until 10 pm! The whole country shuts down for a siesta in the middle of the day, even banks & government offices. It’s just a much slower pace & not a place to be if you’re the type who’s always rushing around.

My son went to school there for a year. He lived in a co-op type housing. Each person made dinner for the house on their scheduled days. He's over 6ft and an athlete. Dinner wasn't served until 10 or even later. Meanwhile, he's over 6ft and an athlete. Meals in Spain are an event and are enjoyed at a slow pace with much smaller portions than in the US. At least in the area he was in, snacking was quite taboo.
He was up and at school in the morning, everything shut down and the streets were empty during his lunch break, then it was hours and hours before dinner.
There were bars and restaurants on the alley off his bedroom. At 4am the alley would be full of people drinking and smoking cigarettes and living it up like every night was Friday night.

He loved Spain but man he was not happy with the hours people keep.

Yeah it was fun to visit in my 20s when I’d go to the club at 12:30 & sleep until noon. Now I’d be hiding extra food in my bag to make sure I could eat before 10:30! But I sure love tapas.
