LA DUQUESITA

La Duquesita is a shop in Madrid which specialises in cakes. La Duquesita, one of the most famous cake shops in Madrid in the early 20th century, is located in Fernando VI street, just a few metres away from one of the best architectural works in the modernistic style, the Longoria palace. This cake shop, open since 1914, has kept the charm of the times when it was founded, with its wooden façade and a warm and traditional interior presided over by an alabaster doll. Roscones de Reyes (ring-shaped sponge cake with sugar and glazed fruit), traditionally eaten around Christmas time, and especially for the 'Día de Reyes' or Epiphany, and other large cakes are part of its specialities.
