Here's what you've all been waiting for - my post on some food! :) I know it was definitely part of the reason I wanted to come to Europe, there's no lying there! :) These pastries are from my favorite bakery in the Albaicin - Casa Pasteles. SO good. It is a store with only pastries and ice cream. Can't really go wrong there. :)
I have no idea what the name of any of these are because the pastelerias (bakeries) just have mounds of each item, not names.... it's basically heaven on earth. This was a flaky, buttery pastry drizzled with honey, chopped peanuts, and granulated sugar with the ends dipped in dark chocolate.... YUM! It was definitely a breakfast one morning - guilty!
This was a cream horn topped with honey (as most are due to the Arab influence in southern Spain). SO good and remarkably it's not super sweet so you don't feel too sugary and overwhelmed when you eat it for breakfast. What? I can't stop myself!
This was the inside of the other pastry. It has something the Spaniards call "cabello de angel" which translates to "angel hair". I have no idea what it is other than it's fruit and kind of stringy like coconut but it's pretty tasty. 
The freshly opened package. You can't lie and tell me that doesn't look like a pretty yummy breakfast! :)
This is a true Spanish tortilla - nothing like the tortillas we have in the states that are from Mexico. This is a Spanish omelette essentially - potatoes, eggs, cheese, green onion and tomatoes on the side. Quite tasty! This is the traditional version (tortilla espanola) but there are hundreds of varieties with asparagus, chorizo, etc. A very filling lunch indeed!
