Appointment at the padron
I don't like moaning about this country as I am new but is this normal to have an appointment at 11.30 and the lady has said "I am going for a break".
Its now 12pm

It's the norm in some places here. I've known our medical centre to be completely empty of staff between 11.30 and 12.00.

Any time between about 10.30 and 12 noon is when they normally go for their ‘breakfast’ break. I was told by a Spanish friend that they don’t have breakfast just after getting up, just possibly a coffee, and then breakfast is later in the morning.
I noticed similar in the Playa Flamenca Suma Office.
It was very near to Car Tax renewal deadline day this year. All seats inside the office were taken and a standing queue of people was winding it's way out of the Main entrance doorway and around the perimeter of the office.
I was inside the office and part of the standing queue, clutching my numbered waiting ticket obtained from the machine.
There were two members of staff at their desks dealing with customers enquirees. At about half an hour into my wait, one of the staff finished dealing with the customer seated in front of her, closed down her computer, grabbed her handbag and off she went , passing the long line of people heading out of the office.
She returned about 20 mins later, but for that time slot there was only one member of staff dealing with the ever increasing standing queue of people.
That most certainly was an experience to remember.
