Since 1946 · Tejeda, Gran Canaria
Sweet tradition, made by hand
Gran Canaria’s best-loved pastry shop. Handmade palmeras (palmier pastries) and sweets for every taste, baked every morning since 1946.
Our story
In 1946, Dolores Navarro began making marzipan and bienmesabe (a traditional almond cream) with her sister and father in the Casas del Lomo neighbourhood, selling them to churchgoers after Mass.
Almost 80 years later, the palmera has become the symbol of the house and a must-stop for anyone visiting Tejeda. José Antonio Quintana and Rosa María Medina, the family’s second generation, carried the business on, and today José Antonio Quintana Medina, the third generation, keeps the same recipe and the same handmade care alive.
