TASTING OF HOMEMADE CHRISTMAS SWEETS AND PASTRIES IN MOJÁCAR

  

            On Tuesday the 22 of December, at six o'clock, the doors of the Mojácar Centro de Usos Múltiples opened up to offer a free tasting of typical homemade Christmas sweets and pastries, made by the village volunteers.  The event was organized by the Town Council and was open to anyone who wanted to try the sweet delicacies.

 

            The council offered free ingredients to local people to produce their favourite family recipes that have delighted everyone for generations. Others brought along some additional desserts to demonstrate typical Christmas fayre.

 

            As part of the display, there was tarta de turrón, mantecados, rosquillas, marzipan and a big repertoire of sweet "temptations".  The making of these traditional recipes aims to keep alive the culinary traditions which need to be continued in subsequent generations as a legacy of the local culture.

 

            More than thirty amateur cooks took part in the event and the Council team also provided visitors with hot chocolate.  It was a very special evening for the whole family and ensured a great time for everyone, particularly those with a sweet tooth!

 

The tasting was followed by a lively Christmas concert performed by the Escálamo, Rociero de Mojácar “Embrujo Mojaquero” and the Grupo La Fuente choirs.
