Beer. The world\u2019s most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and the third-most popular drink overall (after water and tea). The Spaniards’ relationship with beer (“cerveza” en espa\u00f1ol) got off to a rocky start when Charles V arrived from Flanders in 1516 to rule and introduced his favourite tipple to the country. They hated him and<\/em> his beer. Nowadays, Spain is Europe’s fourth-largest producer of beer and in sultry Andalusia they drink it with great enthusiasm, icy<\/em> cold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To preserve the glacial quality of the cerveza (phonetically pronounced “thehr\/BEH\/thah”), right down to the last droplet, Andalusians usually order “una ca\u00f1a” – a small glass of beer, less than half-pint sized. These little glasses of arctic ambrosia generally cost just \u20ac1.00, and ordering a tapa alongside is the norm (although sometimes they are provided for free!).<\/p>\n

For a longer drink, try ordering “un tubo”, “una doble”, “una copa” or “una jarra” (there are often regional differences, so at around \u20ac1.00 a pop, just keep going until you find the correct phrase!). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
