Madrid's right-wing regional president Isabel Diaz Ayuso emphasized the need for hospitality businesses to adapt to the earlier mealtime preferences of international tourists, seeking to better align local offerings with visitor expectations.
Ayuso noted, 'We have to adapt to those who grace us with their visit and trust us,' acknowledging the challenges posed by Spain's late dining culture compared to the timely eating habits of Nordic countries.
While Ayuso's proposal advocates for earlier meal times in tourist-heavy areas, she admitted that Spaniards traveling abroad often miss their lunch or dinner due to cultural differences in meal timings.
Experts indicate that Spain's dining schedule, which often stretches into the early morning, contrasts sharply with countries like Norway and Finland, suggesting a significant cultural adjustment to accommodate foreign visitors.
