Expert Etiquette
General • The "Siesta"
"Understand that Portugal does not have a Spanish-style Siesta, but life slows down in the afternoon heat."

"Be on time for business or formal dinners. For a casual party at a home, a 15-minute delay is acceptable."
Dining • Dinner Time
"Book your table for 8:00 PM or 8:30 PM to eat when the locals do."
