In this case, the scene captured is that of a great tradition linked to Astorga: that of the mantecadas. If it is in black and white, it is because it is a faithful copy of a photograph from 1927. In this photo/mural, the cajilleras appear, the women who were responsible for manually assembling the boxes where the mantecadas were introduced.
