What is Sobremesa? (EP 03)

Sobremesa is the word for what happens after you finish eating in Spain, and once you get it, everything clicks. It's why a Tuesday lunch turns into a three-hour situation. It's why Spanish restaurants feel so unhurried. It's why the best part of a Spanish meal has nothing to do with the food. In this episode I break down what sobremesa actually is, why it's sacred, and what it tells you about how life in Spain really works. The meal is over but no one leaves. And guess what? That's the whole point.
