When you order coffee in Gran Canaria or Spain in general, you will quickly find out that coffee is somewhat different from what you may be used to at home.
Some typical varieties of coffee in Spain:
Café solo - small, strong, black coffee. It comes somewhat close to espresso.
Café con leche - large coffee with milk but it's not the same as coffee with milk. There is quite a lot of milk in it! It is similar to the Italian caffe latte. Café con leche consists of strong coffee (sometimes it might be espresso) mixed with scalded milk in a 1:1 ratio.
Café cortado - a small coffee with a little milk in it.
Carajillo - an espresso with a dash of brandy or rum.
