When Alicante decks its halls, it's a sweet spectacle indeed. Dive into the delights of the season at the Jijona Christmas Fair, blending tradition with taste. Sugar coat your festive spree among mounds of world-famous Jijona nougat, marzipan masterpieces, and candied confections that twinkle like Christmas lights.
Dating back as far as the 16th century, Jijona's nougat has danced through the ages to become the town's pride and joy. Wander in a candy wonderland of sweet treats, from classic hard and soft nougats to more daring twists of chocolate and fruit infusions. There's also local produce to purchase, such as bread, oil and wine.
And, there's more than just flavours to look forward to – there'll be live music and folk dancing, too. Kids won't be bored either – try your hand as a family at crafting fresh nougat, with a host of workshops to watch, learn and take part in.
