 History of Almojabana

It is estimated that the term "almojábana" began to be used in the region of Catalonia in the 12th century. In our country, people began to talk about this appetizing sandwich in the 19th century, in the municipality of Soacha, exactly in the Salto del Tequendama area. This place, in the then savannah of Bogotá, was known for its majestic haciendas where the exchange of sweets was allowed, which triggered the introduction of the almojábana. Since then, it has become popular throughout Colombia and in nearby countries such as Bolivia, where it is also very popular, and in Puerto Rico, where there is even an event called El Festival de la Almojábana.

 From that moment, the almojábana entered the depths of the hearts of Colombians. His presence became common at breakfast time and at eleven o'clock. Its popularity spread to different regions, especially in cold places, such as Bogotá. However, other areas of the country have also adopted this muffin and have in fact created their own versions of it.
