The most typical Christmas sweets around Europe
Hard turrón, egg yolk turrón, mantecados, polvorones, marzipan, roscos de vino… They all mean it’s Christmas time in Spain! And what about Germany?

However, those looking for the perfect gift outside mainstream commercial routes in the capital, should keep in mind that the pop-up market season just started. The best pop-up stores open their doors in unique locations (such as palaces, greenhouses, etc.) to show the latest trends proposed by craftspeople and designers.
