Tips from the Community
This is the tourist and gastronomic area of Guijuelo, considered the birthplace of acorn-fed Iberian ham with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO Guijuelo). More than 150 ham and cured meat producers are concentrated here. The cold, dry climate of the Sierra de Béjar favors a slow, natural curing process, giving the ham a sweeter, more unctuous flavor.

You cannot leave Guijuelo without eating its famous ham! The town is famous for the high quality of its hams and sausages from Iberian pigs. Although the meat comes largely from Extremadura and Andalusia, here it finds the perfect place for its curing, thanks to a characteristic cold and dry climate.
