Why do banks in Spain close so early?
Briefly

The early closing practice of Spanish banks is longstanding, with hours significantly shorter than other European countries, leaving many foreigners perplexed by the operational hours.
Spanish banks close by 2pm or 3pm, rarely reopening post-lunch, leading to frustration among those who can't manage banking amidst their daytime responsibilities.

Critics argue that the Spanish banking hours are stuck in the past, functioning under an outdated status quo that hinders access for the modern workforce.
