The popularity of Cinnamon rolls in Barcelona cannot be denied. It is one of the most popular sweets from Sweden.
The cinnamon roll, also known as cinnamon roll, cinnamon spiral or cinnamon bread, saw the light of day in 1920. But at that time it was only baked in wealthy families. All because the cost of its ingredients was high (especially butter and cinnamon).
At present, it is very popular. For example, in their home country, each Swede eats an average of 300 cinnamon buns per year. It is so famous that it even has its own commemorative day: October 4.
It all started in the Nordic countries where this sweet delicacy has always been consumed. But it became internationally known only in the second half of the 20th century in the United States. And it was because some Swedes emigrated to this country and brought the recipe with them.
It was then that the American marketing strategy brought the rolls to Europe again. Particularly Spain. Since then, they have come to revolutionize taste and palate.
Barcelona has been no stranger to this delicious and exquisite delicacy.
Although this delicacy is not of Catalan origin, it is easier to find them in the city in different places.
