Traveler reviews
Alexey Subach
★★★★★3 months agoPastel de Nata was pretty good. Comparable to second tier of places in Portugal. It was hot and freshly made. The exterior was crunchy and nice. The interior was a bit starchy though rather than silky which made it worse than the best ones form Portugal. Still, great quality given it’s in Spain and I can recommend trying one out
