TURRÓN Turrón is a type of Spanish sweet rather like nougat that is eaten particularly around Christmas. It has Arabic origins and is made of honey, egg whites, almonds and hazelnuts. There are two traditional varieties: alicante, which is hard and contains whole almonds, and jijona, which is soft and made from crushed almonds. Turrón stalls are often to be found at the summer ferias.
