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.
