Address

Avenida de la Constitución 24, inside Plaza del Cabildo

A small shop under the curved arcade of Plaza del Cabildo, across from the cathedral. It sells sweets made by nuns in Seville's enclosed convents. Normally you buy convent sweets through a torno, a revolving hatch that keeps buyer and nun out of sight, which gave the shop its name. Look for yemas from San Leandro and Santa Clara, Santa Paula's jams, pestiños and marzipan. Boxes make easy gifts.
