Characteristics
Normally the dough is flavoured with sesame. Its form and composition vary from region to region and are different in Medina-Sidonia, Cádiz, Chiclana de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Rota, Salobreña and other towns in Andalusia. In these towns they are typical for Christmas but in the rest of Andalusia they are eaten throughout the year.
In Málaga they are called borrachuelos.[1]

gollark: You do it. I don't have the game started.
gollark: I don't trust unloading to not do horrible stuff to my reactor.
