Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar, honey, and almond meal (ground almonds), sometimes augmented with almond oil or extract.

In Spain it is a traditional Christmas dessert (mazapán), although in Toledo, where the first written reference of this product dates back to 1512-


This form of "eel", "anguila" in spanish, is given especially on the last day of Christmas, in Spain on January 6 (Feast of the Three Kings)

Bought in a specialized bakery in the city of Madrid called "Plaza Mayor"

I took this one on Wednesday of this week. It's hard to explain....but I felt some sort of atmospheric mysticism and haunting as I, in 2023, stood there at sunset amongst the absolutely ancient and wondrous relics of life in this part of the world.

(By the way, yes, there's a lot of mud. Simply because the local Christmas market is held here throughout December. The grass returns every year.....in time for trampling during the Dickens Festival!)
