The address listing is correct for this little cafe, but we never did find that huge, glass-and-steel entrada prima that's in the photos, so we think there may be a different location that we have to go try.

Our experience involved an unassuming little shop on a straight, narrow street amid the tight confines of the old city.  We were deeply impressed with Santa Fe in general, and every guidebook that mentions the town speaks about the Pionono. This famous, tiny pastry is one of the few pieces of traditional Spanish food either didn't make it over with any colonists, or never left their private kitchens if it did.

It's rare to experience something that is completely unlike anything we have at home, and the Piononos at Casa Ysla are definitely on that list. Each 2-bite pastry was pure celebration with it's trinity of textures. Soft, moist, slightly-spongy cake rolled with a nutty, sticky filling, and topped with a sweet, silky custard would have been overwhelming in a quantity larger than 2-bites. The tiny cakes were just enough to be reverent though, and not sinful in their celebration of texture and taste.

If we had been staying in the area for more than a day, we would have made a point to try more of the elegant offerings in the display cases at Casa Ysla, but we would also consider a drive back through Granada just to stop in Santa Fe for these pastries as well...
