Tips from the Community
This is the tourist and gastronomic area of Guijuelo, considered the birthplace of acorn-fed Iberian ham with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO Guijuelo). More than 150 ham and cured meat producers are concentrated here. The cold, dry climate of the Sierra de Béjar favors a slow, natural curing process, giving the ham a sweeter, more unctuous flavor.

Nice port with a constant and not very steep slope on either side, be careful in winter due to possible ice sheets.

An ideal miniport to test ourselves in our training, with a very good road with a bar in the town in case we want to stop for a drink.
