DULCERÍA DE CELAYA

This delicious confectionery was founded in 1874. It was originally located on Calle Madero, but at the beginning of the last century it was moved to its current location on Calle 5 de Mayo. It sells all the traditional sweets of the country: beso de nuez, alegrías, piñoninas, bocados reales, aleluyas, reinas, picones, puerquitos.... and many others! Some of them are now endangered and you'll be hard pressed to find them anywhere else in Mexico. A real institution that has another shop in the Roma.
