Here is my imitation of cortado: Only use arabica beans which I grind "fino" each time,Evian water, and Carnation canned milk. Yes, to me the milk makes the diferrence. I even use the low fat sometimes, and it tastes just as good! Ummm.. I think it's time for a cup.

La maestra, where I buy Parmalat it's across the aisle from the refrigerated milk. In other stores I've seen it on shelves with other types of nonrefrigerated milk. It could be anywhere. It might be worth it to ask around in your area. Good luck!

I would venture to say that what you saw was a "bon-bon" which is leche condensada (condensed milk) and then coffee.

La maestra, we have Parmalat boxed UHT milk at our local Wal-Mart, but you can also order it from http://www.netgrocer.com which I noticed had it on their home page. Since it keeps boxed for several months it ships well. David

I love Spanish coffee but the other day I had a cappucino at my local Starbucks, and you know, it wasn't half bad;). I also like their cakes, especially the apple and caramel crumbly things......My only complaint is that I find their prices rather high and the portions rather small. Although it was delicious, my favourite cake measured about 4 square inches.
