Guilty pleasures.


If there anything that flows abundantly here in Sevilla, it is most certainly dulces (sweets) and postres (pastries). My addiction has reached its peak and there is definitely no turning back. I've mentioned the beloved Croissanteria on my street, where I can get hot, delicious croissants that melt in my mouth for just .80 euro! However, la palmera de huevo (above) is my number 1 sweet (until I find something that is possibly better)! It is basically a heart-shaped layered flaky pastry that is topped with a to die for egg-like custard--so sweet and rich, but so good! They also have them in I had one today simply because I couldn't resist. There really are so many other types of pastries here as well, however, I am completely smitten with this one. The fact that they sell them EVERYWHERE does not help me resist either. As a warning, if I come back 20,000 pounds heavier, you will most certainly know why :)

Until the next sweet I discover, I hope this satisfies (or more likely intensifies) your craving for la comida española!
