The little ‘top chefs’ of the Alhambra

Children were the stars of the show today at the Alhambra. This morning at the workshop for decorating Christmas biscuits organized by the Alhambra Bookshop, almost fifty boys and girls demonstrated their “great talents” in the kitchen by making these delicious biscuits with their own hands. 

The Director of the Council of the Alhambra and Generalife, María del Mar Villafranca, leapt at the chance to take part in this event and donned an apron and gloves to start kneading the biscuits together with her team of “little chefs”. “The aim of this activity is for grownups and children to have fun learning a little bit more about the Alhambra. The morning has flown by”.

The Workshop for Decorating Christmas Biscuits was organized by Marga Núñez, designer of the Alhambra Biscuits, and held at the Casas de la Mimbre. The next workshop is on 29th December. Those interested must reserve a place by phone at 958 22 78 46, as only a limited number of places are available. “We began selling these butter biscuits, inspired by some of the best-known decorative features of the Alhambra, a few months ago and they have so far been very successful. Baketecture is a new concept that combines the best of baking and architecture”, Villafranca explained.
