Iced coffee in Spain is truly an experience 😏 It’s not your typical “grab-and-go” cold brew, it’s practically an art form you know? I mean not spilling a burning espresso out of the cup… deserves a trophy lol

If you order an iced coffee in Spain, here’s what you’ll get: two separate cups. One comes with very hot espresso, and the other has ice (usually just one cube… maybe two if you’re lucky 😅). The key? You pour the hot espresso over the ice yourself.

It’s simple, authentic, and very Spanish, but definitely not what most people expect!

👉 I also created a Spain Travel Guide where I break down Spanish coffee culture, the different types of coffee you’ll see on menus, and exactly how to order like a local ☕🇪🇸
