A new (sweet) meeting point
The torrijas are to Madrid as the ensaimadas are to Mallorca. A sweet and essential delicacy that everyone needs to try at least once in their lives, especially if visiting Madrid. Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, they can be found in distinct varieties: angel hair, of chocolate, of cream… the options are endless. But the best part is that now you can enjoy it in the heart of the Chamberí neighborhood in Madrid. If you are in a hurry to conquer your sweet-tooth and you love Mallorcan pastries, Formentor is opening their third establishment in number 62 on the street Santa Engracia. A grand opening that, along with the ensaimadas, will bring novelties like the Mallorcan almond horchata, the coca de trampo, the lamb empanadas, and the cocarrois.
