Pastissets de moniato are crescent pastries filled with sweet potato, cinnamon and lemon, baked for Christmas in Benidorm and in hill villages such as Guadalest.

These half-moon pastries are a Christmas sweet along the Mediterranean coast. In Benidorm the tourist office publishes the household recipe: sweet potato cooked down with sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest into a thick jam, wrapped in a dough made with olive oil, lard and aguardiente. In the hills, Guadalest lists its own pastissos de moniato among its village sweets.
