Too many and too often!
A fun piece in the run-up to the big festival day. The Aleteia website has an article on the history of tarta de Santiago. There is also a recipe and even a template for a cruz espada to give the proper finishing touch to your creation!

La tarta de Santiago, el dulce que va con los peregrinos del Camino

Este bizcocho, típicamente gallego, elaborado con una base de almendras molidas, se caracteriza por llevar impresa la silueta de la cruz de Santiago sobre una fina capa de azúcar

Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
Interesting history. Plus, this recipe is much easier than the one I use (or any of the various ones I've seen posted). I will definitely give it a try, see how it goes. But seriously, sugar and almonds-- can't go wrong!

Thank you, I've been wondering about the history. This is the recipe I use, sometimes with cinnamon as well as lemon zest. It's easy, and easily scaleable too. I've made it with anything from 3 to 8 eggs and it has always turned out well.
