I was just in Barcelona for a month. Breakfast out was coffee and a croissant (cliche but true), and occassionally at home I'd cook butter eggs with some leftover steak.
I just arrived in France yesterday (Narbonne). It looks like they do light breakfasts here too (although they start ealier).
I'll be hiking the Camino for the next two months, so I'll be seeing more of what breakfasts look like in France and Spain) when making it past the french Pyrennes and dropping back down into Spain).
I guess French people like baguette with coffee:)
