Types of Coffee in Spain

[moliendocafe]

I recently moved back to Spain and decided to write about the types of coffee that you can order in any café, this is the url if you want to read about them: https://moliendocafe.es/tipos-de-cafes-en-espana/ It's in Spanish but google makes a fantastic job if you want to read it.

In any case I will do the translation for you of one of my favourites, as it was created in my region :

Café Carajillo​

Carajillo is a typical Valencian coffee in which brandy is heated together with coffee beans and lemon or orange peel. It is then filtered and topped with freshly brewed espresso. Ideal for an after-dinner drink after a hearty meal.

Hi, sorry for bumping post.

Is there any Spanish restaurant in California or in my city Pasadena? I wanna try Spanish coffee flavors as there's much hype nowadays. Although, I've heard about few restaurants like Dos Besos Restaurant and few more but haven't tried any of them yet. Looking for recommendations. Thanks!

If you're visiting Tenerife, you absolutely have to try a "Barraquito" – a specialty coffee that's unique to the island! This layered coffee drink is as beautiful as it is delicious. Here's what makes up a classic Barraquito:

• Condensed milk
• Licor 43 (a sweet Spanish liqueur)
• Espresso
• Steamed milk
• Foamed milk
• A sprinkle of cinnamon on top
• A twist of lemon peel for garnish

The layers are carefully crafted in the glass, giving it a distinct and visually stunning appearance. It's perfect as an after-meal treat or simply a way to enjoy a taste of Tenerife. Don’t miss it!

And for those of you in the U.S., here's a fun fact: on the nearby island of La Palma (Another island in the Canary Islands), they produce an exceptional sweet wine called Malvasía, made from the Malvasía grape. This wine was so prized during the 18th century that it was used to toast the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. It was highly sought after in colonial America and often referred to as "Canary Wine." Even figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were known to enjoy it.

So, if you're in the Canary Islands, don’t just savor the coffee – explore the history and enjoy a glass of this legendary wine as well. It’s a sip of history you’ll never forget!
