That idea (the time zone change after the Civil War) has gained widespread popularity in the last few years, but there has been some pushback too. In particular, some claim that spanish schedules are neither as rare nor as late as it's made out to be, specially considering sunrise and sunset times in Spain.
As someone who lives in the Basque Country in summer and New Orleans the rest of the year, I vastly prefer the Spanish schedule, and we try to keep as close to it as possible when living in the US (hard with a 5 year old and american school schedules). I have a long list of reasons for preferring it, but in Spain, its even more extreme given what time the sun rises/sets.
The attempts to change the spanish workday are not nearly as likely to succeed as the current PM postulates. And thank goodness for that.
I think that Spanish meal schedule is previous to Franco´s decision It is just a different custom like women here in Spain keeping their family names after marriage.
