On this relaxed foodie tour of Madrid, you'll get to know one of Spain's very best traditional specialities - Iberian ham, as well as tasting a range of excellent wines and cheeses. Jamón ibérico is widely considered one of the best hams produced in the whole world - it is made only from black Iberian pigs which are fed a special diet of acorns to produce a unique flavour. You will learn all about the different types of Spanish cured ham, how they are produced, the differences between jamón serrano and jamón ibérico and even how the experts carve them.

Your tour is led by a local guide who will share their knowledge and the secrets of Spanish delicacies with you. Whilst you wander around this gorgeous city, visiting a traditional jamonería (ham shop) where you will taste not only hams but also chorizo, lomo and manchego cheese, you will also learn more about Spanish wines and how to pair them with ham and traditional Spanish cheese.
