LA MALLORQUINA. BERMEJO CONFECTIONERIES. A SWEET COMPETITION

There was a time when a pastry shop called La Mallorquina opened to the public in every city across Spain. La Mallorquina of Salamanca was founded by Don Santiago Bermejo Pollo at the beginning of the 20th century.
Until the 1960s, Bermejo Pollo had a street named after him in the very place where he built his candy factory and established a neighborhood for humble families.
For the drafting of this Museum of Commerce Notebook, we have relied on the direct testimony of his grandson, Santiago Bermejo Escribano, who was perhaps as central to the story as his grandfather, and who managed to steer the businesses he started until their definitive closure in the 1980s.
