    This is very cultural. In Spain essentially no one throws dinner parties in the US style. It's rare to invite social acquaintances to one's home. These things are done - but mainly with family. Part of this is cultural and part reflects that homes are too small to fit many people. Most socializing is done outside, at a bar, cafe, restaurant, park, etc.

      That's because you don't eat dinner until 10pm

        More likely because Spain has the highest percentage of apartment dwellers in Europe.
