Slow living Spain | Christmas in Barcelona silent vlog | Christmas decoration 2025

A little corner of home finally feeling like Christmas. In this vlog, we bake a recipe full of nostalgia: the pasta frola that reminds me of my childhood in Argentina. Afterwards, a quiet drive through Barcelona, simply enjoying the calm and the city lights. Welcome to our slow rhythm this Christmas. 🤍

PASTA FROLA RECIPE:

Ingredients:

🌺 200g softened butter
🌺 150g sugar
🌺 Vanilla extract
🌺 1 egg + 1 yolk
🌺 450g all-purpose flour (or 0000 flour) + a pinch of salt + 1 tsp baking powder
🌺 500g quince paste (or your chosen filling)

Step-by-Step:

Cream the butter and sugar together until lightened in color (pale and fluffy). Add the vanilla extract, the egg, and the yolk, continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
Sift the dry ingredients (flour + a pinch of salt + baking powder) into the creamed mixture.
Mix gently using a spatula (do not knead) until a unified dough forms.
Chill the dough in the fridge for one hour.
Melt the quince paste: I did this in the microwave with a splash of water, but you can also use a double boiler (bain-marie). You want a spreadable consistency.
Assemble: I used a 24cm (9.5 inch) mold. Assemble the tart, including the lattice top.
Bake: Brush the top with a beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven for approximately 45–50 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown.

Thank you for joining us and happy holidays!
