Pasteleria Italiana

When you step into Aurora, in Las Galletas, you'll feel like you've traveled straight to Italy: their display case overflows with croissants, ciambellas, Sicilian cannoli, and those Neapolitan sfogliatelle that so remind me of a neighborhood pastry shop in Naples. I especially love the pistachio cream-filled croissant: it's soft, creamy, and has a touch of salt that captivates you from the first bite. They also have donuts, brioches, and other traditional sweets that change every morning because, as they tell me, everything is made with care and freshness.

The coffee deserves a special mention: Italian-style espresso, short and strong, and they also make a barraquito, a blend of condensed milk, Licor 43, coffee cream, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon. It's a combination as Tenerife-esque as it is delicious, perfect to accompany any pastry.

The service at Aurora is friendly: the staff can explain each pastry, tell you how they're made, and make suggestions based on your preferences. That makes you feel right at home, even though you're in a pastry shop with exquisite technique and imported flavors.

For me, Aurora is the ideal place for an elegant yet unpretentious breakfast or for treating yourself in the afternoon. It's a place where you lose track of time while deciding whether to try a cannolo, a sfogliatella, or simply another ciambella. If you like artisanal pastries, well-made coffee, and Italian delicacies, you can't miss it.
