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.

Once there, go behind the scenes of traditional Jamón Ibérico production. Explore the natural drying rooms and cold chambers, see thousands of hams at different stages of curing, and learn how time, craftsmanship and the quality of the meat shape the final product.

The experience culminates in a professional tasting of three premium Jamón Ibérico, paired with Penedès cava, before your private transfer takes you back to Barcelona.
