What people say

Brittany Aves
"While not strictly a shop, the Convento del Corpus Cristi, located in Madrid’s oldest district, close to the Plaza Mayor, hides a sweet secret that is definitely worth buying. The convent is home to an order of cloistered nuns, who, because they are not allowed to leave the convent, make their living by baking and selling biscuits in a very unusual way. Buzz on the door and walk round to a rotating round table, where a disembodied voice will ask you what you want. There is a list of biscuits on the wall; order the ones you’d like and the nun on the other side of the wall will spin them around to you. Spin your money back around and you’ve just bought some of Madrid’s most unique biscuits, without seeing a soul."
