Cultural Note
Spanish mornings (mañanas) are divided differently than in English. 'Por la mañana' can extend until 2 PM, when lunch begins. The stereotype of 'mañana, mañana' (always putting things off until tomorrow) is an oversimplification, though Spaniards do tend to have a more relaxed approach to time. Morning routines in Spain often begin with a quick café con leche.
