I’d expect the shortest day of the year to also be the coldest, with the coldest season of the year spreading out equally on both sides of it.

    I spent about a week in Toledo, Spain for a wedding a few years ago during the summer. We were taking siestas on our second day there and eating dinner at 10pm.

    It was actually quite enjoyable operating on the Spanish time-conventions.

      The thing is, the time zones aren’t necessarily related to the lifestyle. A siesta at 1 on the current clock is identical to a siesta at 11 on a more natural clock. But either way you have a siesta when the sun is near its peak.

        No, but being in Spain during the summer lends itself to doing as the locals do. I couldn’t have given less of a care about what time zone I was in.
