Tarta de Santiago is a moist almond cake made with ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and lemon zest, traditionally dusted with powdered sugar in the shape of the Cruz de Santiago (Cross of Saint James).

Originating in Santiago de Compostela, the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, the cake is a symbolic and protected product (PGI) of Galicia and is found in bakeries and cafés throughout northwestern Spain.

Naturally flourless and gluten-free, the cake is light yet rich, with a fragrant almond flavor and a delicate crumb. It’s often served with coffee or sweet dessert wine, and commonly gifted or enjoyed by pilgrims and locals alike.
