Jijona - Travel & Tourism Guide Jijona - Espagne

This town of more than 6,800 inhabitants is especially famous for its turrón factories. Whether it is the Jijona variety or the Alicante variety. But when you arrive, it is above all the silhouette of its Almohad castle, the Torre Grossa, that you will notice on the heights of the city. In the center, you can visit the Renaissance-style church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción and, of course, the Turrón Museum. As far as hiking is concerned, you can try to climb up to El Cabeço d'or to discover caves such as those in Canelobre. Information Tourist Office: Carrer d'Alcoi, 34, (http://www.jijonaturismo.com).
