> The point of siesta

Nobody takes siestas in Spain but the elderly, children and people without A/C in hot zones in summer, and I suppose in some rural towns as well.

That’s 80% of the country you’re describing there. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do a siesta in summer, and elderly people continue throughout the year
You don't know anybody that don't do siesta when on holidays, not during normal working periods.

In the cities, people do not stop working midday to nap. Now if you are talking about rural towns, that is another thing.
