Miquel Àngel Zaguirre

Miquel Àngel Zaguirre is the president of the Gremi de Pastissers (Pastry Guild) of Barcelona. He is newsworthy due to his role in representing the pastry industry in Catalonia, particularly during the Easter season, a crucial period for sales of traditional Catalan sweets like 'monas de Pascua' (Easter cakes) and 'buñuelos de viento' (wind fritters). Recent news articles quote him regarding the expected sales figures for these products during the current Easter campaign. He anticipates a "very good Easter" for Catalan pastry shops, estimating sales of 800,000 'monas' and 40 tons of 'buñuelos'. He also commented on the popular themes for 'monas' this year, predicting that figures based on the TV show 'Stranger Things', the football player Lamine Yamal, and K-pop groups will be in high demand. His statements provide insight into the trends and economic outlook of the pastry sector in Catalonia during this significant holiday period.
