Andalucian Delight

<p>The wonderful cakes from Andalucia are pure luxury. Many of them were developed in rich towns where the citizens indulged not only in cakes but in all kinds of luxuries.</p><p>Today these luxurious cakes are available to everyone. From being the creations of a few master bakers for a small elite the recipes are followed in <em>pastelerias</em> all over Andalucia. By all means enjoy them! Remember to exercise! These cakes are very rich that is why they taste so good!</p><p>But let us make one thing clear. We find it a detestable practice to use margarine instead of <em>manteca de cerdo</em> (lard) and butter and to add extra sugar to try to cover this up. We understand margarine is cheaper but the cakes do not taste the same. It is a kind of fraud on the consumer. Be sure to ask for the real thing!</p><p>Besides cakes Andalucia has so much to offer the visitor and its own residents. You will enjoy a visit!</p>
