Breakfast in Spain

Order a Spanish breakfast at the bar and talk about what you eat in the morning at home.

Breakfast in Spain is light and often eaten standing at a bar: a café con leche, a tostada with tomato and olive oil, a fresh orange juice. Many bars do a cheap "desayuno" deal, and at weekends churros are a treat. The cards follow a morning at home with a Spanish flatmate and a breakfast at the local bar.

Enjoy a delightful brunch with avocado toast and cappuccino at an outdoor cafe.
