    Yeah, It depends on which sector you are focusing.

    The office sector normally has an 8-hour workday, from 8am to 5pm with a mandatory hour for lunch or similar. Other offices may have a 7 to 3pm with no time for lunch, like in the Banking or Public sector.

    But, in the countryside people that work on farms and greenhouses normally work more than that, although, that is a minimal percentage of the population.

    In hot areas of the country, like the south or the spanish plateau is imposible and dangerous to work at midday on open fields, because of UV radiation and high temperatures, so normally they stop working and return home to eat, rest and go back to work later when the UV hazard has decreased. Those people are the ones that tipically have siestas, because of the long hours during the day 7am to 8pm and the physical effort that they need to perform in the workours.
