Regional specialties

Jamón (ham) is the specialty of the area. It's everywhere. It's hanging in restaurants and being sliced and served with everything. It's really good.

A small tribe of Spanish beans known as Judías de El Barco de Ávila make a claim to royal status. In Castile-León they are often referred to as the “Queens of Beans”. I had them this week. They are wonderful.
