Today we can find all kinds of sweets and desserts from almost anywhere in the world. The sugary offer is very abundant with globalization, especially in the capital.

However, among so much sugar on offer, what are the really typical sweets of Madrid<\/strong>? <\/p>\n

The most typical sweets of Madrid<\/h2>\n

Madrid has always been an epicenter where different cultures have united for centuries. This has given Madrid’s confectionery<\/g> a great richness of flavors and some of them have become great representatives of the local tradition. Passed down from generation to generation, they are authentic treasures that bear the flavor and customs of Madrid. <\/p>\n

Here are some of the sweets that you should not miss if you visit Madrid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Madrid’s most traditional sweets<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doughnuts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rosquillas<\/a> are one of the most emblematic sweets of Madrid<\/strong>. There are several types of rosquillas that can be found in the city, such as the tontas (plain), the listas (with a glaze of powdered sugar) and the francesas (with an egg yolk glaze). These fluffy delights can be enjoyed at any time of the day and are especially popular during patron saint festivals, such as the San Isidro celebrations. <\/p>\n

\"churros<\/p>\n

Churros with chocolate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The perfect marriage of crispy churros and hot chocolate is another classic of Madrid’s pastries. Churros are fried sticks of sweet dough, and are traditionally served with a cup of thick chocolate for dipping. This delicious treat is especially popular for breakfast or a snack, and Madrile\u00f1os often flock to the traditional churrer\u00edas to enjoy this comforting combination. <\/p>\n

\"bartolillos<\/p>\n

Bartolillos<\/h3>\n

Bartolillos<\/a> are a typical sweet from Madrid<\/strong> that consists of a puff pastry dough filled with cream or angel hair. Their triangular shape and their sweet and soft flavor make them an irresistible choice. These sweets can be found in many pastry shops in Madrid, such as Casa Mira<\/a>, but it is during the San Isidro festivities when they reach their maximum popularity. <\/p>\n

\"Torrijas<\/p>\n

Torrijas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Torrijas<\/a> are a classic dessert that is traditionally<\/strong> eaten during Easter<\/strong> and Lent, and which we have told you about in previous posts. They consist of slices of bread soaked in milk, sugar and egg, which are then fried until golden brown. They are usually sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and served cold or at room temperature. Torrijas are a real pleasure for the palate and have become a symbol of Madrid’s traditional cuisine.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Madrid’s “castizos” sweets<\/strong> are an important part of Spanish culinary tradition. From rosquillas to torrijas, these sweets have been enjoyed for centuries and continue to be a prominent element in local pastries. Whether you try them during traditional festivities or simply seek them out at a local pastry shop, Madrid’s castizos sweets<\/strong> are a delicious experience not to be missed if you visit the city. <\/p>\n

In Casa Mira<\/a> you can find typical sweets from Madrid<\/strong> in our store in the center of Madrid, or in our online store.<\/a><\/p>\n

Let yourself be carried away by its flavor and enjoy this delicious tradition!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
