Visiting Spain is many tourists’ dream, especially those who love the language, culture, and food. Churros is probably the most iconic Spanish dessert that is popular all around the world but there are some other traditional desserts that you must try in Spain.

Flan

Creamy and silky, flan is the number one dessert to try on a visit to any Latin country like Spain or Mexico, because this light caramel treat is very popular in these countries.

Mantecados

Mantecados are shortbread sugar cookies that are super simple and made with just a few ingredients. Still, this is the most popular Spanish dessert that is traditionally served for Christmas.

Crema Catalana

If you love crème brulee then you’ll definitely enjoy crema Catalana too, because they’re very similar. Crema Catalana is a traditional Spanish dessert from Catalonia, and it’s actually the oldest custard dessert in Europe.

Tarta De Santiago

Like many other Spanish treats, Tarta de Santiago is also very simple and made with common ingredients like almonds, lemon, and orange zest. This, however, is one of the most delicious desserts you’ll get to try on your next trip to Spain.  

Turrón

Turrón is another popular dessert eaten around Christmas and these soft bites are filled with wonderful almond and honey flavors that are hard to resist.
