Madrid's Last Barquilleros

  • Share this:

In Madrid, one family is fighting to save a tradition that dates back to the 19th century but is in danger of disappearing.

Barquillos are waffles made of dough, pressed into a pattern and then rolled up into tubes which vendors sell on the streets on Madrid. They used to be a common sight, but these days they are a rarity, especially sellers who actually make their own barquillos fresh.

There are waffle vendors on streets all over the world; so what makes the barquilleros so special?
