The ‘Goya cake’, outside of Valladolid?

The ‘Goya cakes’ are sold in all these establishments, the same ones that, in addition, have to make a few to distribute more than 3,500 cakes during the Goya gala. But the truth is that no establishment outside the Valladolid capital has this special sweet for sale, with a ‘movie flavor’, they say.

Of course, as they explain to ‘El Norte de Castilla’ from the Vitín confectionery, “the sweet is served frozenso it can be transported and consumed or kept in the refrigerator upon reaching the destination.” Of course, if you transport it by car or train, you must do so in a freezer so that it does not spoil along the way.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the ‘Goya cake’ cannot be purchased at any time of the year: they went on sale last February 1, and will only be sold until Sunday, February 11.
