The most important is  Bolo Rei or the King Cake, made with all sorts of nuts and crystallized fruits:

And the other variety is the Bolo Rainha, or the Queen´s Cake, the same but without the crystallized fruits:

Azevias, can be made with sweet potato, pumpkin or chickpea and lots of sugar:

Filhós, made of flour, milk,  eggs, fried in olive oil and covered by sugar and cinnamon. Can have different looks, these are made with a special shape:

Rabanadas, similar to French Toast, made with yesterday bread, milk, eggs, deep fried and covered with sugar and cinnamon:

Sonhos or Dreams , also made with flour, water, sugar and deep fried, covered with sugar:

My favourites are these small cookies, called Broas, there are 3 kinds:  corn, castelar and espécie, these last ones are made with sweet potato:

And finally all that can be made with just eggs, liked poached eggs and  egg yarn:

Most of this season desserts are conventual sweets, characterized by an unique sweetness.

Here you can find different shows, a slide, an ice lake, a carousel, Santa´s House.
