So accurate! We were just in Spain last week and got some funny looks when we tried to find restaurant around 8pm.
At 4:00 some people may be still eating lunch here
Es la verdad. Echo de menos la cena a las diez por todos. Ahora vivo en una ciudad que se cena a las 6 or 7. Casi todos los restaurantes son cerrados a las diez 🙁
Demos las gracias a la jornada partida.

Chad Spanish eating at 21:30
Netherlands is wrong 17:00/05:00 is the start time for many
I eat at 10 so ot accurate according to me
Sometimes we have dinner at 11-11.30 in summer lol
No estoy seguro de que la hora para Portugal sea correcta. Por mi experiencia en el norte yo rebajaría una hora por lo menos ¿No le habrán preguntado a un español con el reloj sin cambiar?
A las 9 en punto!

I am not enterally sure about this, as a Norwegian, I would say 18.00 is more the norm, at least among my acquaintances, and now that I live in Spain, most people I know usually dinner at 20.00. But it is true that when I go out for dinner with friends is usually at 21.00, so there is that too.
Semi-amusing anecdote. 1992ish, I was at the movies watching La Mano que Mece la Cuna, (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle). It was an American movie dubbed for the local audience. One character invited another character over for dinner and tells her to be there at 7pm. The audience literally gasped.
Spain is always 8:45PM – 10:30PM. I say that as an American who has spent a lot of time there. My Spanish girlfriend would even say 8:45PM is a little early, typically 9PM – 10PM
Cenar antes de las 10 es de sinsorgos
Porque no me conocen a mí…
I’m moroccan and I can guarantee you it’s 11:30 minimum.
I think this might give a misleading impression for Central/East Europe
In Poland, ‘dinner’ might be eaten at that time, but could consist of just sandwiches. Meanwhile, traditionally, they might eat a main meal at 4.30-5.30pm.
weekends at 23:00
people that eat dinner before 18:00 aren’t you hungry the rest of the day?
Bro wtf spain its like from 8-10
At 2.00/2.30 aprox
That’s because of work enslaving hours
hah! im from Spain and ate dinner at 1am sometimes, or even forgot to have dinner at all.
Mira se que somos los raros pero es que no me puedo imaginar cenando a las 6 de la tarde, esa es la hora de la merienda.
Johnny la gente está muy loca
I’m Norwegian with a Spanish wife, I’ve also lived in Spain for several years. Allow me to elaborate a bit on this info. Norwegian dinner and Spanish almuerzo are pretty similar, it’s the main meal of the day, and the main social touch point of the nuclear family (Norwegian lunch is usually just a few slices of bread eaten around 11 or 12).
On weekdays it can be rushed because kids usually have activities in the afternoon/evenings (usually starting around 17 or 18), so it’s always a scramble to arrive home from work (which usually finishes at 16), make and eat dinner, before the kids have to rush out again. We also have a meal in the evening, usually around 20-21 which is called kveldsmat, or basically “evening meal”. This can be anything from yogurt or some fruit, to sandwiches or even a warm meal.
Not really sure which point I’m trying to make here, besides the fact that Norway and Spain are somewhat more similar than how it appears in this map.
Yes, but since 1940 or so, Spain has been in the wrong time zone. Look how it is even further west than the UK but use the same time zone as Germany. If you deduct that hour it becomes 8:30 to 9:30 which is not so late.
Entre que tenemos no estamos en la hora que nos corresponde, los horarios partidos y las siestas, los horarios españoles son atroces. Pero claro, si te acostumbran desde pequeño a cenar a las 10 y dormirte a la 1, pues dile a 50 millones de personas que cambien de opinión.
Cenar a las 8 e irte a dormir temprano es bastante más sano, luego veo a gente que duerme hasta las 12 del mediodía, o se echa horas de siesta para compensar. Con lo cómodo que sería organizar mejor los horarios y a groso modo cambiar los hábitos a unos más europeos y que no se caguen tanto en los trabajadores.
At 10PM I have dinner, but on weekends it ranges from 11PM to like 1AM
De 4 a 5 he comido yo mas de un dia 🤣
Pretty much always 9 if not later for my family, sometimes we do reach that 10:30 though
9pm is ok. 8:30 for children
A las 11:30-12 suele ser lo normal más que 10:30
Como meme el valor es infinito pero no sirve como una comparación real (¿Qué cojones hacen en el norte entre las 16.00 y la hora de dormir? Lol)
La hora española está modificada, es decir, no es la que nos corresponde (Somos GMT y usamos GMT+1) ¿Qué significa eso? Que la hora de nuestros relojes muestra una hora más o incluso dos si vives en el Oeste de lo que debería. Una vez puesta como debería ser la disparidad se va al carajo.
Esto afecta a otros memes como los del “En España os levantáis muy tarde!” No, es que el reloj tiene la hora de Berlín e Italia, no la nuestra. Cuando te levantas a las 7.00 realmente lo haces a las 6.00.

Franco wanted to make it easier to coordinate with Hitler, so he changed the time zone. https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/11/30/244995264/spains-been-in-the-wrong-time-zone-for-seven-decades?t=1647374759341
