Before you automatically assume that I am saying that everyone in Madrid is in a cult, just know that that is not the sense I am using Rituals in. Rituals are simply cultural norms practiced on a wide scale that set a standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such ritual would be the traditional <em>Siesta<\/em>. In Spain, it is commonplace to eat up to six meals a day! The biggest of which is usually  <em>El Almuerzo<\/em>, or lunch. Historically, Spaniards would take a break in the middle of the work day to go home, eat food with family, and rest. This is a norm practiced frequently during the workweek, making it a cultural ritual. This practice has faded over the years, as Spaniards have moved to favor a traditional workday, but it is still accepted in some industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamplonafiesta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/siesta-namaliava-riska-ot-infarkt.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example of a ritual would be going out with friends. If you go out for dinner, usually you actually go out around 9 or 10 pm, and return around midnight or 1 am. There is much more prevalence to night life with friends in Madrid than in the US traditionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/77\/6e\/5d\/776e5daeb3ccb108a51158b86a3f0187.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the different pace of Madrile\u00f1o lifestyle, it is no surprise that they have various other rituals and norms compared to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrigan, D.
