SERRANO HAM ROUTE

In the Sierra de la Demanda area there are currently around half a dozen companies and some with a long family tradition dedicated to the elaboration of various sausages and other pork products. The main ones are hams, part of them smoked, chorizos, loins and another of legendary fame: the beef jerky from the region.
​
Two of the most populated towns in the Sierra de la Demanda are the vertices of this route in which nature is the protagonist, infinite trails that cross reddish stone farmhouses that resist the setbacks of its extreme weather conditions.
