Descrição

Welcome to the Magic Route of Discovery, Iberian Ham and the Dehesa! This journey will immerse you in the history of the discovery of America, the tradition of exquisite Iberian ham and the beauty of the pastureland, revealing the treasures found in each village on this unique route.

We start in Medellín, the birthplace of Hernán Cortés and the starting point of our adventure. This historic place takes us to explore the roots of the discovery of new lands.

We head to Fregenal de la Sierra, a town that preserves the essence of the pasture and the livestock tradition, preparing to discover the secrets of Iberian ham. The route takes us to Segura de León, where the pasture extends into idyllic landscapes and the handicraft of ham becomes an art. We explore Calera de León, where tradition and hospitality bring us closer to the heart of the pasture. We continue to Cabeza la Vaca, a place that immerses us in nature and the serenity of these unique places. The route takes us to Fuentes de León, where the authentic flavours of Iberian ham await us in every corner of the village.

We move on to Cumbres Mayores, renowned for the quality of its Iberian ham, where craftsmanship and gastronomy merge. The route leads us to Puerto Moral, a charming corner between pastures and hills, inviting us to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. We continue to Higuera de la Sierra, where the culture of Iberian ham is lived with passion and authenticity.

Next, we arrive at Cortegana, which reveals, among the beauty of its landscapes, its medieval and stately legacy. We continue to Minas de Riotinto, a fascinating place where the industrial landscape and mining history intertwine, inviting us to discover its Tinto River, its impressive open-pit mines and the British legacy in its neighborhood of Bella Vista.

We conclude our journey in Palos de la Frontera, where the story of the discovery of America comes to life. This emblematic place reminds us of the crucial role it played in the Columbian feat, closing the Magic Route of the Discovery, Iberian Ham and the Dehesa with a tribute to our history and traditions.

Welcome to a journey that will leave a lasting mark on your heart and palate!
