smaller shops and commerce takes around 3 ¿?

In spain no one have more than 1hour for lunch.. The only ones that could fit in that description are cookers or restaurants staff, working in 2 parts. (12:00 - 16:00) and (20:00 - 23:00). Im from spain btw.

thats was almost a decade ago, but in downtown madrid I couldnt find any local clothier or bank (other than hsbc) that was open during those ~3H. dont remember about other type of places.

As mentioned elsewhere, though, it's not a 3h break, but 3 hours closed to the public. Usually 1-2 of those hours is back office, maintenance, inventory, accounting, etc (well, for banks I'm not sure, but for independent shops that's definitely the case, usually at least)
