Tips from the Community

November 16, 2025, Guijuelo Jamón District

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.

Eleven kilometers north of Béjar, after a winding road, the town of Sanchotello rises in the southeastern part of the ditch of the Sangusín river valley. In fact, different streams pass through its municipal area that feed the waters of the river that gives its name to the valley, such as the Arroyo de los Puentes los Molinos or the Arroyo de Marisancho.
