SEGOVIA FRIENDS!
Have you ever heard of a Guagua de Pan?
Every year in Ecuador, as November approaches, bakeries and homes begin to fill with these colorful, sweet breads shaped like little figures.
“Guagua” means baby or child in Kichwa.
Guaguas de Pan are traditionally enjoyed alongside Colada Morada, a warm, spiced purple drink made with fruits and Andean ingredients, as part of Ecuador’s Día de los Difuntos traditions.
For many Ecuadorians, this is more than bread.
It’s family.
It’s childhood.
It’s remembering the people who came before us.
It’s one of those flavors that immediately feels like home.
Segovia is known for bringing Spanish flavors to Bloomington, but Ecuador is also part of our story.
And this fall, we want to share a little piece of that story with you. 🇪🇨❤️
Guaguas de Pan will be available at Bloomington Community Farmers' Market next Saturday.
Would you try one? Let us know.
