Violet candies.

Violeta candies have a history deeply rooted in the Spanish capital. Do you know his story? Associated with a small pastry shop and confectionery in Madrid's Plaza de Canalejas: "La Violeta", founded in 1915, which sells these handmade candies. It is an anecdote and perhaps a legendary topic that King Alfonso XIII bought these "violetas" both for his wife, Queen Victoria Eugenia, and for his lover, Carmen Ruiz de Moragas. These purple candies are an ideal souvenir to take a little bit of Spanish history, culture and gastronomy to the world.
