Tourists can visit and enjoy the landscape of the dehesa pastures by visiting pig farms, museums and interpretation centres as well as drying sheds so they can see the production process, try and enjoy jamón ibérico in restaurants and shops and find accommodation in these areas. However the Route of Iberian Ham also includes beautiful places, both nature spots as well as historic and cultural sites that mean visitors can enjoy the heritage, world and culture of Iberian ham and the places linked to its production.

More information
Designation of Origin of the Iberian ham

The breeding and production area on the Route of the Iberian Ham is in the Autonomous Communities of Andalucía, Castilla y León and Extremadura. These areas are marked out by the Regulating Council of the Designation of Origin of the Iberian ham. Guijuelo, la Dehesa de Extremadura, Jamón de Huelva and Los Pedroches are the four areas with Designation of Origin at present.

Curing stages of Iberian ham

After the free range grazing, the pig is slaughtered in the traditional way or industrially to reduce stress so that the quality of the meat is not affected. At the time of slaughter the blood is used for making cold meats and preserves.

Ham festivals

There are professional trade fairs, gastronomic events, congresses and local festivals centred around Iberian ham in the areas all along Route that give ham a festive quality that attracts thousands of visitors.
