Excursion to the Sierra of Aracena

Today we take you to the Sierra of Aracena a mountainous area north-west of Seville near to the Portuguese border. It is here that the finest hams in the world are made. These hams are cured in the mountain air for up to 3 years and are considered by many people to be the jewel in the crown of Spanish gastronomy.

We will first visit a pig farm and then go on to see a factory of one of the best ham producers in the village of Jabugo, a mythical name in Spain for fine ham.

An expert will show us around, explaining the processes involved in the production of ham and of other products which come from the Iberian pig. At the end of the visit you will be able to taste the wonderful ham along with a glass of the best fino.

Afterwards, visit the town of Aracena where we will have a gourmet lunch at the finest restaurant in the area. We will sample the finest local produce including fresh cheese, ham, mushrooms, pork from the Iberian pig, wild asparagus, artichokes etc. Many of the dishes will vary according to the season. The meal will be accompanied by fine Spanish red wine and end with typical desserts.
