SAN BLAS BUN
Hotel Marenysol 30/01/2023
Good morning#Benilovers!
We have started February and it is a month that we, in Benidorm, particularly love for various reasons. It is the month where our fields and mountains are filled with blossoming almond trees and venturing to explore the interior of the Marina Baixa, is quite a spectacle. Admire the bloom; those different shades of pink and white; observe how bees pollinate flowers; feel how spring is slowly making its way... Did you know that there is a whole popular and mythological tradition of stories around the almond blossom? Well, we are not going to get ahead of ourselves and we will tell you more in detail in future publications.
Another of the reasons why we like February is that it is time to cook one of our traditional and typical Benidorm sweets. The first week of February, specifically on the 3rd, we celebrate San Blas and in honor of this saint in Benidorm so we get into the kitchen and make our traditional "Bollo de San Blas". Do you know how to prepare it? If not, it is very simple! We leave you the recipe and surely you will be able to make some delicious buns. If you walk through the center of Benidorm these days you will find the air filled with the smell of cinnamon and almond coming out of the kitchens. It is a very simple recipe that you can make at any time and a piece of advice: let the little ones in the house help out, you will have a very fun and entertaining time together!
