In a large bowl, mix sugars, cinnamon, salt, and pimenton until it is combined and free of lumps. In a small bowl, beat egg white and water until frothy but hasn't created peaks. Add nuts and stir to coat. Add nuts to sugar mixture and toss to coat evenly. Spread nuts out on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Let nuts cool, breaking up any large pieces that have formed.
