La Sobremesa

La sobremesa is a Spanish tradition that has no equivalent in the English language or Anglophonic cultures. It’s the time right after a meal (lunch or dinner) when everyone sits together relaxing and having a conversation. It usually lasts from 30 to 60 minutes but during the holidays it’s known to last a little longer.

What we might call the “after-dinner conversation time” is generally accompanied by a choice of sweet digestive liqueurs served in small glasses, which they call a chupito in Spain, and some coffee.

Here’s some useful vocabulary to know in relation to la sobremesa:

Estar de sobremesa – to sit around the table after lunch/dinner

Regreso en una hora; ahorita estoy de sobremesa con mis amigos.
I’ll be back in an hour; right now I’m sitting around the table after lunch with my friends.

Quedarse de sobremesa – to stay at the table 

Espero que tengan tiempo para quedarse de sobremesa.
I hope you all have the time to stay at the table after dinner.
