Lit actJORNADA INTENSIVASpanish stores, offices and schools used to close at midday when everyone went home to have lunch with their families, and all activity would come to a standstill. Only shift workers and civil servants would depart from this pattern and work from eight to three in what is called a jornada intensiva (or “intensive working day”). Many small offices would change their timetable in the summertime and did not take a lunch break. This is still the case today, especially in rural areas and small towns or in very hot regions. However, department stores and superstores have now broken ranks and stay open all day. Many large companies now prefer their employees to take shorter lunch breaks, which means that, in big cities at least, they do not have time to return home for the traditional long lunch.* * *f1 (working) day;media jornada half-day2 distancia day’s journey3 DEP round of games* * *jornada nf1) : expedition, day's journey2)jornada de trabajo : working day3) jornadas nfpl: conference, congress* * *jornada n day -
