Camino coffee

The first one in the morning is Café con Leche, a balm of coffee and hot milk that is kissing me good morning ! -
the rest of the day smaller shots of Café Cortado gives me a welcoming jolt of energy when I have a drinking pause,
Never had it so good but in Spain..!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
 
"Serving suggestion" . . . put it in a cup! Who'd have thought it?
 
3rd Edition. Vital content training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
My most memorable cup of coffee was finding somewhere open very early in the morning after" the night from hell" About dark a load of young people arrived and had their fun well into the night - noise, lights, etc. Next morning I got up early after having very little sleep and headed out in the dark. The guy from the bunk across from me was sitting outside yawning and when I got down the hill and found a place open I was thinking of yelling that the coffee was on. Hoping it would wake up the young folks, but didn't as it was in the middle a small village. That coffee kept me going until the breakfast stop.
 
Thanks! To get less milk I'll try Cafe Cortado- is that a regular size? For us about 250ml?
 
you see, they will ask you - so please indicate mug size down to cup size.
Miming is essential when proficiency in Spanish i s wanting, like in my case..
Locals will even prefer down to thimble size, and then it is strong !- and good...

I excercised a little training & evaluation and went for less and less in size...

And - please remember to call it Café Cortado - the time I forgot the full description, the barman threw a cutlery knife onto the counter, indicating I cut it myself !!

It appears the term cortado is the tip of the strength cut off, to a happy medium I would say !!
Enjoy... and be hooked forever !!
