Description
This baker’s attests to the importance of bread as a staple in the time when it was constructed. It is of Arab origin and medieval characteristics documented as far back as the beginning of the 16th century. It is said to be one of the oldest in all of the Valencian Community and is a true architectural gem. Nowadays it is still fully functioning. It is well-known for its typical Jijona buns such as tonyetes (almond, flour and cinnamon), doblades which are only made for All Saints’ Day, cupcakes (madalenas) and tortadas (almond tortes) as well as a long list of other puddings and sweet dishes.
The local bakers and confectioners make buns, sweets and other delicacies for all the visitors who would like to try the traditional Jijona confectionary.
