The best time to go to Jijona is in late autumn, particularly November, when the annual Jijona nougat fair is held, or during the cooler spring and early autumn months for pleasant weather.For those keen to experience Jijona's most famous product, November is the ideal time. The "Fira de Nadal de Xixona" (Jijona Christmas Fair) usually takes place during the first week of December, but the town is buzzing with nougat-related activities and preparations throughout November. This is when you'll find the widest selection of nougat, direct from local producers, and get a real sense of the town's primary industry. Food lovers will especially appreciate this period.If you prefer to avoid the crowds and focus on exploring the town and its surroundings in comfortable weather, spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October) are excellent choices. During these months, the temperatures are mild, great for strolling through the historic streets, visiting the nougat museums, or hiking in the nearby Serra de la Carrasqueta mountains.
