I completed the Camino Portugues 3 weeks ago. During my time in Portugal, I noticed that the cafe con leche did not taste the same as I remembered in Spain. Different country, different way of doing things, I get that. After crossing into Galicia, the cafe con leche tasted basically the same as in Portugal. Some months ago there was a discussion here as to what caused the distinctive taste in Spanish cafe con leche. I did not comment, but felt it was due to that nasty UHT milk that is ubiquitous in Spain. I started looking at the how they were making the coffee in Galicia and noticed that it appeared to be fresh milk instead of UHT. Finally in Santiago I asked at the churreria very close to Casa Ivar. They told me they were using fresh milk. I did not have another cafe con leche until the train station below Puerta del Sol. That coffee had the familiar taste. I looked towards the coffee machine and saw the they had the UHT boxes. In the past, fresh milk was very expensive in Spain. Is it just Galicia or parts of Galicia that has switched to fresh milk or is it more common in Spain?
Second question, how do you turn off spell check on this website? I had to go through this email 3 times before I could get it to take leche instead of changing it to leech.
