Coffee Cantata - Andalucia, Spain

The Coffee in Spain

In preparation for my European jaunt I'm researching what's what, in the world of coffee, and where to find it. Lonely Planet have come up with this helpful summary of what to ask for when ordering coffee in Andulcia (Spain).

"In Andalucia the coffee is good and strong. A cafe con leche is half milk, half coffee (something like cafe latte), a cortado is espresso with a dribble of milk (like an Italian macchiato), and solo is a straight black espresso. Ask for a grande or doble if you want a large cup (pequeno for small), en vaso if you want it in a glass and sombra or manchado if you want lots of milk."
