Las figuras de mazapblando (soft) án, marzipan figurines, are also popular, together with los polvorones, soft crumbly cakes made with lard, flour and cinammon. The main meal takes place on Christmas Eve, la Nochebuena, and consists of a major dish of meat or seafood, such as cordero (lamb), bacalao (cod) or mariscos (shellfish), which varies according to the region or the family's preferences.
