Crossing over recently from Morocco into Spain, I was struck by how lively the days seemed compared to Morocco, where now during Ramadan most people do not eat, drink, or smoke from sunrise to sunset. Conversely, in Melilla anyway (located in North Africa but an enclave of Spain), things die down early, as if around 9 pm everyone goes home to bed. During the month of Ramadan in Morocco things do not even start to get going until at least 10 pm, with many still out on the streets at sunrise.
