These delicious shortbread cookies, rich in flavor and heritage, hold an essential place during Christmas festivities in Spain. The origin of Mantecados dates back to the 16th century, between the towns of Estepa and Antequera, where this pastry was born. In the past, houses were transformed into factories in Estepa to meet the growing popularity of these tasty cookies, which were marketed throughout Spain from the 19th century. These old bakeries are still a testament to the culinary tradition of the city. Mantecados continue to symbolize sharing and conviviality, and their presence on Christmas tables embodies the joy of the holiday season. You will have the opportunity to discover the entire manufacturing process of these sweet treasures, true ambassadors of Andalusian Christmas traditions.Return by coach.
