The church is decorated with some curious artworks, including a <em>Last Supper<\/em> by Vicente Carducho and a panel of the virgin, which, if tradition is to be believed, was found in a coal bunker without so much as a smudge on it. But what really drew me to this secluded spot in the Hapsburg Quarter are the famous cookies made by the cloistered nuns who live here. Knock on a small door on the right of the main entrance to the church in Plaza del Conde de Miranda 3, and ask for the number of cookies you want to buy through the revolving window (known as the <em>torno<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>And if you haven&#8217;t yet satisfied your sugar cravings, nearby there is a specialist delicatessen shop, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eljardindelconvento.net\/\" onclick=\"javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http:\/\/www.eljardindelconvento.net']);\">El jard\u00edn del convento<\/a><\/em>, selling products made by the nuns.
