It is still a mystery to me how so many Spaniards can function on so little sleep.
More than 138,000 bars in Spain, as many as the rest of Europe put together.
The proportion of Spaniards who define themselves as religious is, according to a poll, no different to the proportion of German or Dutch who do so. It is significantly smaller than their southern Catholic neighbours in Portugal or Italy. Only the British and French consider themselves less religious. The Franco period now looks like a last-gasp attempt at hanging on to already waning church powers.
