Overview

Discover the world of authentic Iberian ham on an exclusive small-group experience combining Barcelona’s iconic La Boqueria Market with a behind-the-scenes visit to a real working Iberian ham factory.

Begin at La Boqueria, where you'll explore the historic market with a local jamonero and discover its connection to Spain's rich food culture and ham tradition. Then leave the city behind with a private round-trip transfer to the Jabugalia Iberian ham factory.
