Spain does have good chocolate.

Spanish chocolate is absolutely delicious and has a long and fascinating history.
The most popular chocolate bar in Spain is the Lacasitos chocolate bar.
Nestle is also a pretty popular chocolate bar in Spain.

No one knows for sure when chocolate came to Spain. Legend has it that explorer Hernán Cortés brought chocolate to his homeland in 1528.
Cortés was believed to have discovered chocolate during an expedition to the Americas.
In search of gold and riches, he instead found a cup of cocoa given to him by the Aztec emperor.
The nationality that eats the most chocolate is actually Switzerland.
Switzerland was the leading country in chocolate consumption per capita in 2017, with citizens eating nearly nine kilos of the sweet stuff in that year.
World renowned for the chocolate they produce, it seems the Swiss themselves can't get enough of the candy.
