siesta hours
Post-lunch rest period
Siesta hours are the period in the early afternoon, typically between about 1 and 4 PM, when businesses close and activity pauses in cultures that observe the siesta tradition.
Common in Spain, Latin America, and other warm-climate regions, these hours accommodate a midday rest during the hottest part of the day: The shops won't reopen until after siesta hours.
