Early Arabic coffee traders tended to gouge Spanish coffee merchants on pricing and result was highest priced cup of coffee in Europe. Portugal, Spain’s neighbor, had colonies in several coffee growing regions in Africa and sold coffee to Spain at more reasonable prices, however quality was not as good and some importers chose to pay higher prices for Arabian coffee.

Whether Spaniards were first to add alcohol to coffee is unknown, but this practice is very common in Spanish coffee houses even in morning hours so it is possible. The familiar drink on cold afternoons does have its origin in rich and elegant coffeehouses of Spain.
