La Violeta
Shop
Directions

La Violeta is a charming century-old shop specializing in violet candies—Madrid’s iconic floral sweet since 1915. The vintage glass jars and pastel tins feel like stepping into 1920s Spain. Their candies were a favorite of Alfonso XIII’s queen Victoria Eugenia. It's like stepping back in time when you visit this sweet shop with a wooden façade that exudes old-world charm.
