Continental Breakfast

I love croissants, but I only eat them on special occasions, such as when I have guests at home or on Sundays. This happens to be a Spanish croissant. What's the difference between a Spanish croissant and a French croissant? My sister-in law, who is French, says that Spanish croissants are just so much bigger than French croissants. Mmmm...fatty croissants so delicious!
