The world is divided into two types of people: those who say they love sweets, and those who lie. We all love sweets, in all shapes and all types. As we see in our sweets and pastry shops tour, there is no place to get to know through it the sweets of the glorious Spanish heritage more than the capital, the city of Madrid.
The pastry shops and sweets in Madrid are, like other aspects of the city of Madrid, a fascinating blend of dozens of cultures and hundreds of years. The many incarnations that have taken place on the Iberian Peninsula have left their impressions in all areas of life, with undoubtedly the sweetest among them being the field of confectionery, pastry and sweets.
