Ordering drinksAt the Bar: Ordering a drink

Click here and listen I don't know about you but one of the first things I like to do when I arrive is grab a coffee. Nearly all bars in Spain serve coffee and as there is a bar on every corner in Madrid finding where to go is not a problem. The challenge is knowing what to say when you get there. Greetings are easy - I just repeat what the person says to me. But what will the waiter say next? See if you can help me work it out.

Waiter:
Buenas tardes.

You:
Buenas tardes.

Waiter:
¿Qué va a tomar?
