You can't generalize a country only by what you saw once.
I don't think in Paris everything closes at 7.
In Spain you live a lot later. I mean you eat later, you may go out later, and so on. Life is organised differently. A french living near Spain may like it if he sees the nightclub close in France, he can go to the other side and find a spanish one opening! ;)
But this does not mean we are more or less civilised.
We may have stronger rules, and respect them more... :)

Ok, I wasn't trying to generalize or to mix things.
