Well, the answer is a little of both. Yes, most shops close between 2-5 for lunch (the biggest meal of the day), but people are still around. Some people nap, so far it seems like it's mostly a time to rest and stay indoors during the hottest part of the day.
Another thing about the siesta--"Prime-time" t.v seems to be around 2-4ish. It's like the 5 o'clock news and then all the best t.v shows are on during the siesta time. Pilar likes to keep the t.v on during meals, and I can learn more gossip (and news too) during lunch than during dinner. Yay. Then after lunch Pilar watches her soaps (telenovelas). Apparently this is something that's pretty popular.
As for us americanos, we are perfectly willing to take advantage of this siesta time. See?
