Thanks to an about.com writer blogger I am now able to say @ in Spanish. Apparently, the word used to say this tricky symbol comes from Arabic and was traditionally a unit of measurement, but in case you didn't know before you know now.
You can read the article about the arroba here The '@' Symbol in Spanish.
Also, you can learn a little more about Arabic words carried into Spanish through 'Spanish's Arab Connection.'
