Many restaurants are open earlier for dinner, especially where there are a lot of hotels because many people do not have that custom of eating at 10 p.m.! I don't think that we ever ate dinner at 10. We tried to make it until 8 or so. When we were in Valencia, the restaurants did not open until at least 9.

People eat at Tapas bars for a snack and drink after work.

There are so many restaurants and if you don't want to or just can't, there is no reason to do as the Barcelonians do! Eat earlier.
