Sobremesa, literally “over the table”, is a Spanish word with no direct translation into English. More than a word, it is a ritual, deeply rooted in Spanish culture. The food, the family, the table are merely the setting. The conversation is the bond. Time stops. Infinite. Hours of it, endless moments quietly laying the foundations of who we are. Dessert, coffee, a glass of liqueur. Making time for time to pass, or perhaps for it not to pass at all. And then, a change in light.
