t's ridiculous that this place is not so popular that people don't travel to Pamplona just to experience this confection. For the people that will not read my entire review I want to be sure they know the temple that exists here. Close your eyes and think of the most perfect croissant you can Imagine.

You have chocolate milk and white chocolate. You can not pay with card, there is no parking lot anywhere close to it and you will more than likely have to wait in line as it is always crowded... BUT it is so worth it!!!!!
You will not be...
