Usage Note
Jornada covers the hours of a working day (jornada laboral, 'working day') as well as a sports matchday (la jornada 10 de la liga, 'matchday 10 of the league'). Media jornada is a 'half-day' or part-time schedule. Unlike día, it specifically implies a span of activity rather than a calendar day.
