Siestas con viento sur is a collection of short stories by the Spanish author Miguel Delibes, published in 2019 by Austral. The book contains four short novels that explore the emotions and experiences of characters facing situations from which they cannot escape. The stories included are 'La mortaja', 'El loco', 'Los nogales' and 'Los raíles'. Violence and delicacy alternate in all the stories and the action slides moved by an intimate and powerful force that alternates lyricism with a mocking vision of the people, their manias and their adventures.
