Curiosities of our confectionery.
Discover the curiosities that are part of our history and legacy.
What do owls mean?
They are a collection of more than a hundred old owls that, according to the custom of times past, were used as piggy banks, which constitute a folkloric craft in the imagination of the local artisan.
What are your favorite sweets?
Milk canillitas, crystallized sweets (chilacayote, sweet potato, figs), royal coconut, guava colochos, orange stuffed with coconut or marzipan, nougat.
Do you have branches or other points of sale?
We do not have branches.
What is the history of majolica pottery and why is it not for sale?
Majolica is a white glazed ceramic manufactured from tin, to which other colours are added during the second firing.
The pottery displayed in our confectionery shop is an ancient, invaluable collection, the largest and most complete in the city, which is why it is not for sale.
What are the opening hours?
Monday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
During the week it closes for lunch from 2pm to 3pm.
We are closed only twice a year, on Good Friday and Christmas.
How long do the sweets take?
Our traditional sweets are preserved in good conditions for a week, meaning they do not lose their original flavour; we do not use additives or preservatives.
