What time is the siesta in Granada?

Many Spanish cities enjoy a relaxing siesta, but Granada takes its siestas very seriously, which is a good thing. Generally during the hours of 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm the majority of stores close for siesta, where most people return home for lunch and to sleep and escape from the heat of the afternoon sun.

Have a leisurely lunch, then there is usually something to see, whether a church or museum, or just wander a neighborhood, or yes, go back to your hotel and siesta like the locals. Particularly in Spain where I hear the usual dinner hour is at 9pm or 10pm (a good hour later than even Italy).
