Seek out Convento de San Leandro for one of Seville's most charming errands. Ring the bell, send your euros round the carousel and collect a bag of the nuns' egg-yolk sweets and buttery cakes.

📖

Full description

Convento de San Leandro is a quiet 13th-century convent tucked into a calm corner of the Casco Antiguo, best known for the sweets its resident nuns bake, especially the traditional egg-yolk candies. Visitors ring in, place their euros on the revolving carousel, press the button and wait for their treats to arrive from the other side.

Reviewers describe it as a fun, slightly offbeat errand rather than a sightseeing stop, with buttery cakes and a mix of sweets on offer. It takes about 15 minutes and costs only what you spend on the pastries.

bought a bunch of different sweets made by the cloistered nuns, and loved every single one of them! such a fun and unique thing to do, and to tell your friends about! (please know some basic spanish if you want to do this, it doesn’t hurt anyone to know how to order in the appropriate language)
