I had to look up Clara too! I do like the plazas you find in Spain and Portugal and Italy, I wish we had them here. The only ‘squares’ I can think of are quite small. Lots of benches for me here too. I’d be very happy to sit on one of those. Possibly with a Clara…
From Pyrenees to Pennines

Indeed. But I was at a bar, where napping would probably have been discouraged!

I’ve never understood siestas.. Can’t sleep in the day, however tired.

I do. It’s been lovely, but I’m exhausted. Feeling My Age, perhaps.

No indeed! It was about midday, so a bit of a non-time. Way too early for lunch, but too late for mid-morning coffee.
