Roasted chestnuts (Castañas asadas)

Compact booth

One of my absolute favorite winter features of Madrid are the availability of roasted chestnuts (Castañas asadas). I had not been familiar with just how delicious these roasted nuts could be admittedly being more familiar with the word from the opening lines of the Nat King Cole Christmas classic, "The Christmas Song". The presence of their temporary booths, not present in summer, are a sure sign of winter and the warm nuts offer respite from the cold. They are sold in three different sizes and the bags even come with an extra side bag for the shell of the nuts!

Shout out to the Instagram user vive_majadahonda for the short feature video!


Dual pocket bag for shells.
