In the US, it is common for workers to take a half-hour or hour lunch break in the middle of the day, plus two ten or fifteen minute breaks in the morning and afternoon. Spanish has many words that can be translated "break" (descanso, recreo, pausa, entreacto, interrupción, vacaciones, etc).
What is the best way to describe a break from work (during the day, not an extended vacation) in Spanish?
