About this tour
A two-day journey combining Jabugo's renowned curing traditions with Seville's architectural treasures. You'll travel by private vehicle from your hotel to the mountain town of Jabugo, where you'll walk through a working ham drying facility to understand how Iberian pigs become the country's most prized cured meat—from animal husbandry through months of air-curing—before tasting the finished product. The second day returns you to Seville to explore the Cathedral, Giralda tower, Royal Alcázar palace, and Torre del Oro.
Highlights
- Inside a Jabugo secadero: where pigs cure for years
- Taste aged Iberian ham directly from the source
- Seville Cathedral and its 16th-century bell tower
- Royal Alcázar's tilework and formal gardens
- Torre del Oro riverside fortress museum
- Private transport throughout both days
What to expect
Day one: your driver collects you early and heads into Huelva's hills. The drying facility tour is hands-on; you'll see the dark rooms where hams hang and learn the salt-curing rhythms that take years to complete. A tasting follows—expect strong, complex salt-cured flavour. Day two is slower-paced urban exploration. The Cathedral's interior is vast and dim; the Alcázar requires climbing stairs between rooms and courtyards. Torre del Oro is a modest tower with river views. Walking between sites covers several kilometres across Seville's older quarters.
