Tasting of the Almudena Crown in the Plaza Mayor
On 9 November, around a thousand portions of a giant Almudena crown will be given out for free in the Plaza Mayor.
About this event
The Almudena crown was created in 1978 and is made every year in Madrid to celebrate the feast of its patron saint. It is a ring-shaped sweet bread usually filled with pastry cream or whipped cream.
For the tasting, ACYRE Madrid, the Madrid association of chefs and pastry chefs, will prepare a giant crown in collaboration with the City Council. There will also be zarzuela music, chotis, and traditional Madrid dances throughout the day.
The distribution will begin at 12:00 in the Plaza Mayor.
