Visit a traditional ham cellar to witness the entire curing process, from the selection of Iberian pigs to the slow aging in natural dryers and underground cellars. Immerse yourself in the 'dehesa,' the unique oak tree ecosystem where the pigs roam freely, feeding on acorns, which are essential for the ham's distinct flavor. Understand the delicate balance between sustainable farming, tradition, and the culinary excellence that makes Guijuelo a gastronomic treasure.

Step back in time in Salamanca, a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its golden sandstone architecture and prestigious university. Begin in the Plaza Mayor, one of Spain's most magnificent squares, a hub of university life and social gatherings for centuries. Explore the Old and New Cathedrals, a breathtaking blend of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Wander through historic passages like the Arc de Corrillo and Plaza del Corrillo, and marvel at the Casa de las Conchas, a 15th-century architectural gem adorned with over 300 stone shells, symbolizing the Camino de Santiago.
Madrid (Return)
Conclude your enriching journey with a comfortable return to Madrid. Reflect on the day's exploration of Spanish history, flavors, and traditions, carrying with you the memories of Guijuelo's artisanal ham production and Salamanca's architectural wonders.
