Encounter the Iberico pig in its natural habitat in Southwest Spain - in open
ranges of oak filled groves where this unique race to the Iberian peninsula is
fed solely, and naturally, on acorns in the field.
This peculiar breed of pigs, famous for their black hooves ("pata negra") as
well as their black skin and hair, are descendants of the Mediterranean wild
boar. Their unique characteristics of breed and breeding, and more importantly
the natural climatic and agricultural conditions of this Mediterranean forest,
result in the "caviar" of cured hams -
 Jamon
Iberico - a standard in all Spanish tapas bars and becoming known worldwide in
gourmet stores and upscale restaurants. It is considered the best ham in the
world!!
Wonderful Seville will be the starting point of this route. From there you will
go along the Southern part of what the Romans called la Ruta de la Plata or
Silver Route, the Roman road which went across the Western part of Spain.
From Seville to the mountainous region of the Sierra de Aracena (home to the so
called Jamon de Jabugo - named after the village of Jabugo), you will
 visit
a private ranch and the most prestigious Iberico ham producer's facilities in
Spain. We will continue north along the famous Roman Silver Route, visiting
other historic towns and villages of this incredible region of Extremadura
considered by many Europeans as the last natural paradise in Europe.
Our gastronomic journey will end at the mythic Cordova. A proper mixture of
cities, villages, and countryside will give you an in-depth introduction to the
rich and historic cultures of the areas as well as to their culinary legacy

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
