The typical desserts of the Cádiz mountains, high in calories and made from 100 per cent natural products, have, in the rich native honeys and the fruits of the beautiful almond trees, a fine base from which to concoct superb delicacies.

Among the most outstanding are the amarguillos (sweetbreads of diced almonds, cinnamon, sugar, egg and lemon rind), or cubiletes, a baked whipped butter and eggs confection, often made at Christmas, flavoured with cinnamon and sugar, stuffed with a cream of apple (or cider) and syrup known as cabello de ángel (angel’s hair).
