STL DPB IN MADRID - LATE DINING


When North Americans arrive in Spain, they learn quickly that local dining hours are much different than ours. For sit-down restaurants, lunch is served from 1 to 4 PM and can be the main meal of the day. They don't open for dinner until 8 or 8:30 PM. At that hour the customers are mostly Americans, Brits and Germans. The locals start rolling in about 9:30 or 10. This picture was taken after we had finished our dinner (8 PM booking, of course) a few blocks away and we went for a walk. The place was plenty busy.

I apologize that this hasn't been much of a St. Louis photo blog lately. I might pick up some images on Saturday but then Sunday it's off to New York for a five day street photography workshop, Packing it in while I still can.

  1. My brothers inner clock changed a bit when he moved from Sweden to Spain. But he found a Swedish store near where he lives so he can buy most of the stuff he misses from back home.

  2. I miss lunch most days. I go for breakfast and dinner.
