Hey, hello from Barcelona. Well it's curious here in Barcelona I always used to drink "cortados" or "tallats", an espresso with a little bit of milk. Until I visited Roma, where I tasted the best coffee!
I think you should visit the Italian capital ;)
And yes, Barcelona's airport food/coffee is awful.

Albania has some great coffee too. I think it is the Mediterranean thing, when people are more calmed down, go out with friends every day, sit down for a coffee, talk and enjoy life.
Coffee to go, or in a paper cup is a very foreign concept. Impossible to find actually.
When I visited Instabul, I was really suprised that people didn't drink coffee at all, but mostly tea after meals.
Figure it out. The people that introduced coffee to europe, don't really drink it. So, the phase "Turkish coffee", is pretty inacurate. Should probably be called "Ottoman coffee".
And then I visited Barcelona. The coffee I had in the small cafes in the town was the most awesome, fresh and tasty beverage I have ever had. Interestingly, Barcelona's airport had the same stale, tasteless coffee that Starbucks sells!
