Melindre Party (Melide)
It is the most important gastronomic event in the region and has a great projection throughout Galicia, since since 2013 it was declared of “Galician Tourist Interest”.
It is celebrated annually the second weekend of May in order to exalt and value this delicious traditional sweet.
It consists of three desserts:
Melindres
Small donuts that are given shine and color with a sugar bath are the most recognized sweets in Melide’s pastries.
Almendrados
Made with ground almonds, egg whites, sugar and wafers for the base, which give them its unmistakable appearance.
Ricos
Characteristic for their elongated shape and for their external hardness, the Ricos are unique sweets, which are only made in the land of Melide.
