Casa Mira
Turrón Marzipan
Palmier
Tecla
There are lots of Turrón shops in Madrid, including a big chain with Albert Adria branding, but for those in-the-know none have been serving Spain’s capitol longer than Casa Mira, who has been crafting sweet Nougat since 1842.
Located on Carrera San Jerónimo, creator Luis Mira’s original recipes once granted Spanish Royal Warrant still in use to this day, it is inside a wood and glass space that Confections fill every meter, a spinning display up front yielding flawless Palmiers as well as an elongated, laminated Tecla.
Keeping a picture of Luis on the wall, and splendid in terms of service, Turrón is sold by weight at fair prices, the Original enjoyed via small sample while a thick slice of the version featuring Marzipan softened the texture slightly but upped sweetness by quite a bit.
