Tasting of traditional Tortas de Alcalá in local bakeries

Alcalá's gastronomy has in the Tortas de Alcalá its sweetest and most universal ambassador, a Moorish pastry product handmade from thin layers of crispy puff pastry sprinkled with sesame and sugar. This baking tradition has its roots centuries ago, turning the act of savoring them into a true cultural ritual.

Upon entering the traditional workshops and bakeries of the historic center, those with a sweet tooth will encounter the unmistakable aroma of the wood-fired oven and the opportunity to acquire this delicacy fresh from the oven. It is a perfect experience to savor the authentic artisanal essence of the municipality.

Prices vary according to the format, usually ranging around 3€ to 6€ per package. It is recommended to accompany the tasting with a coffee in the central squares of the town during the morning or as an afternoon snack.
