You know that feeling… you’ve just had lunch, it’s several
hours since you got up and it’s even longer until you’ll get
back into bed, but you could just do with a bit of shut eye.
Well, you may want to move to Ador in Valencia where the
town’s mayor, Joan Faus Vitoria, has introduced nap time
between 2pm and 5pm.
Although Spain is known for its siestas, it’s the first time
that it’s been made official. Parents have been told to make
sure their children are kept indoors and people are being asked not to make any unnecessary noise.
Senor Vitoria wanted to introduce the nap time so that farm workers can have a break during the hottest time of day for
the town and expects employers to comply.
However, there’s no penalty for non-compliance, it’s just something he’d like people to adhere to in order to make the
town a better place.
A spokesman for the town hall told The Local: ‘Many people here work in the countryside, so it’s very usual to take a
long lunch break and have a siesta after eating.’
