Spain has a super lame law which prevents the sale of wine after 11pm. Coming from a country where dinner begins after 9pm, this seems very odd.
I learned this fun little fact tonight as we stopped at a small little grocer. Yun asked if they had wine. He asked what kind we wanted and then pulled back a curtain displaying a fine array of options. So strange. Given a similar stupid law in Mexico (I blame the Catholics), I asked if we were able to buy wine at this hour (just after midnight). I was told we could but he couldn’t sell me the wine. Very confusing. But nonetheless he put my bottle of choice in a bag and told me to keep it hidden. So apparently you can buy wine after midnight, it just can’t be sold.
Wine is so incredibly cheap here and it’s really good!
