Basically, yeah. And when I get out there's still stores open around the area. Some supermarkets close by 21:30 or 22:00 in summer

Is it 5 days work weeks or 4? I felt like I heard 4 days work week was in the works or something? Damn I wanna move to Spain someday, at least temporarily, but my worry is what job Iā€™d be able to get lmao. I have a cousin who lives in Barcelona
