Repsol Guide has presented its new edition of Soletes just before the December long weekend, a list designed for those looking for special places to celebrate meetings, toast, enjoy unforgettable after-dinner meals or discover traditional sweets made with centuries-old recipes. This selection brings together more than 300 establishments from all over the country, from cozy restaurants to lively bars and bakeries that set the sweetest rhythm of these holidays.
The director of Guía Repsol, María Ritter, explained that this edition was born from “the collective desire to celebrate”, offering proposals for any time of the day: from an aperitif that becomes a new friendship to the choice of unique products for the Christmas pantry.
Among the main novelties is, for the first time, the recognition of religious congregations for the excellence of their traditional bakeries, awarding prizes to 27 convents in Spain whose sweets keep alive recipes handed down from generation to generation.
