This is a big city with a lot to explore. Good excuse for another rest day. Unlike most peope here, we have no deadline, so we´re lucky enough to be able to spend the time to see and do what we want.
Oh, it turns out that yesterday wasn´t Sunday... tomorrow is. No sure why everything was shut yesterday. We bought brekkie & lunch for tomorrow, ´cos nothing will be open tomorrow until evening... if at all.
I think I always suspected that siesta were only taken in the Mexican desert. I just assumed that towns & cities in Spain would have business hours similar to what we´re used to in Australia. They don´t. They open at whenever-O-clock in the morning. Then about 2pm, everything completely shuts down until about 5pm. The roller doors go down, the blinds are drawn, and the village turns into a ghost town. You don´t even really see people leave... they just disappear. So if you don´t have your Sunday lunch supplies before then, you´re going hungry!
