Perusas and sequillos

Food and drink · Algueña, El Vinalopó Mitjà, Alicante

Image of Algueña, not of the place itself.

The local baking comes down to two oven pieces: the perusas, biscuits of almond and sugar, and the sequillos, dry little sponge cakes of oil and anise that keep for weeks in the larder. They were prepared for the patron saint festivities and for the pig-slaughter days.
