    I guess if you like pastries there are lots of good choices. Maybe I missed something, but I do not recall them buying a loaf of bread. In my experience finding decent bread in Cuenca is a challenge, especially when ya grow up in Philly and spend time in NYC a few times a year. I live here in Cuenca and finally found a couple places for bread, but as usual in Cuenca everything is supersized so I rarely buy it.

    • @ericandsandy
      @ericandsandy  Před 2 měsíci

      Primitivo Artisan Bakery has great chabiatta bread rolls and Sandy La Pastelera has the best breads that I've had there. You can order from Sandy through Facebook or Instagram..her sourdoughs are amazing and my favorite is her foccacia..perfecto. Her cookies and pastries are so delicious. You can't go wrong with anything you order from Sandy La Pastelera. Thank you for watching our video. If you get bread or sweets from either please let us know how you liked it.
