Tarta de Santiago

Remember the lovely Tarta de Santiago boxes that graced gift stores and panaderias along the Camino? I found a spectacular recipe. I am nibbling, imbibing and reminiscing as I type. Here's the picture of my efforts this evening in the kitchen.

Here's the link to the recipe I used. I found that 2 1/3 cups of whole almonds will make the noted amount of ground almonds for the recipe. I think too, that I kept my almonds a bit courser than the recipe intended, but I liked the results.
