At Christmas there are classic traditions that are repeated year after year and do not go out of style. One of the most popular is to drink the typical kings roscones and, although there are sweets that in recent years have tried to overshadow this special dessert, none can compare with a good artisan roscón.
There are many pastry shops that compete to show that they have the best roscones, a contest that in recent years has become very popular and it is the reason why year after year hundreds of people queue to get this very artisanal product. This year the undisputed winner has been the emblematic pastry shop of Madrid The Duchesswho already brags about the result achieved on his social networks.
