An application has been presented to Madrid authorities calling for the siesta to be given a special cultural status to ensure its preservation.
It comes following the announcement that the bullfight was to be included on the list of items of special cultural value that were protected by law.
Daniel Dorado filed an application arguing that the siesta fulfills the same criteria for protected cultural patrimony as bullfighting.
Dorado insisted that The siesta is a cultural fact of special relevance and significance, an art which deserves protection…and it has been part of Mediterranean and Spanish culture for time immemorial and that the country would be harmed by the loss of this art.
