# Guimarães: Conventual cakes ... capital sins!

Whenever I look at the storefront of a pastry shop in Guimarães, my first thought is: “stomach, get ready to work overtime!”. And the second thought is: “cholesterol and diabetes, sorry, I can’t hear you guys … I'm busy eating”. Between the two thoughts, the eternal doubt arises: “What to eat?” ... and to elect one, we must prove all!
