At Ca’n Joan de S’Aigo we believe December shouldn’t be only a month of rushing around: it can also be an excuse to stop, share and reconnect with the flavours that define us. That’s why we propose a Flavours Advent Calendar: 24 days — one for each date — with a different item from our menu so that, between shopping and commitments, you reserve a moment of calm in any of our locations.
Why a flavours Advent calendar?
Tradition lives in small repetitions: a daily treat, a memory, a bite that connects you to your roots. Our aim is to guide you through the classic pastry and bakery of the island: ensaimadas, cuartos, cocas, savoury pastries and some of our most-loved ice creams. It’s an easy way to turn December’s countdown into 24 micro-moments of pause.
The calendar: 24 days, 24 delights
We alternate sweet and savoury so each day has its own character. Below you’ll find the suggested order and, alongside each item, a short curiosity or serving tip.
