"BARQUILLOS"

It's a thin sheet of pasta made with flour, without yeast, and sugar or honey and, usually, cinnamon.
Today is a sweet that is often traditionally offered on the streets of Madrid.

It seems that the origin of the wafers can be found directly at the beginning of Christianity, and which derive directly from the divine bread. Since then its membership has evolved. The "barquillos" were developed in the monasteries where they tasted before selling it to the faithful and probably their sweet culinary evolution is due to the refinement of the religious. In the Middle Ages it were part of the tables of kings and great lords and also sold on the street.

In Zaragoza, Madrid, in many cities, there have been stories and characters linked to the "barquillos", for example in Madrid, is typical figure of the "barquillero", and it's customary to see them at times and feasts.
