The Spanish Cuisine:

We can say that the dining table and its associated customs in every country are considered an important part of the culture of that country. For example, there is the Spanish {1} Supremes, which may extend for hours after eating. When you visit Spain and during your meal, you will notice that it will be strange to leave the dining table directly after finishing your meal, but you have to stay, and get involved in exchanging pleasant conversations, tasting light sweets and some drinks.

This is a well-known tradition among the Spaniards, as it is considered the prime time for television, and at this hour the important news programs are broadcast, and everyone watches them, whether from the house or the cafe.

Croissant with sugar or hot chocolate is the typical breakfast for Spaniards. The late lunch begins with a light dish of salad or soup. Then, the main meal includes fish or another type of meat, and in the end, the sweetening, which is a piece of fruit or a Spanish pie or other pastries with a delicious smell and taste. Also, there is a snack at the end of the day that includes a mixture of appetizers or sandwiches.

And coffee cups accompany Spaniards during their day several times. You can order it with milk or a little of it, and often it is served with dessert.
