Cafe con Leche

Spanish people do have some interesting habits when it comes to coffee.

Coffee in Spain is delicious, but it takes some time to learn how and what to order because most of the coffees differ per region.

Here’s a list of my understandings:

• Café Solo – espresso

• Café Doble – double espresso

• Café con Leche – coffee with milk, usually half and half  but it depends on the region

• Café Cortado – espresso with a little bit of milk

• Café Americano – large black coffee (Café Solo with more water)

During my time here in Barcelona, I have tried many ‘café con leche’s’ (coffee with milk).

Luckily the coffee isn’t  that expensive, but it can happen that you pay too much for this life saver drink. The regular price for a coffee with milk in Barcelona varies between  €1,50 and  €2.00. So allow me to introduce you the hotspots where can you find the best café con leche below 2 euro's.
