The meal times here are a lot different from home. Here breakfast (el desayuno) is somewhat the same: for us it's 8 a.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends. Lunch (la comida) in the US is usually eaten around 12-1 p.m. and in Spain I eat lunch around 3 p.m. in the US I usually ate dinner (la cena) around 6 or 7 p.m. whereas in Spain we eat around 9;30-10 p.m. So there you have the meal times. For me it was not that hard to adjust to the meal schedule, but everyone is different.

In Spain we always eat dessert after lunch and dinner- it's great! I must admit that I have become addicted to a dessert called flan. I had tried it many times in the US and Mexico but I fell in love with it in Spain. Typical desserts here are flan, lionesas, yogurt, crepes and fruit.
