We start out the day after brekkie with a trip to a Jamon factory.

We learn later that there are around 1 million hams hanging in the factory. At a rough average price of e400 per ham, that is quite a business.

Before the tour of the factory, we drive out to one of the farms where the pigs are raised – on acorn to provide the special flavour. There is a fair walk from the bus drop off to the farm and there are three fords of a stream which lead to wet feet etc. It turns out that there were bridges that we mostly missed.

We walk up the hill to another field where several pigs are living and roaming.

We walk back to the bus with this time all the group walking over the bridges to miss the fords.

When the tour is over we get rid of our sterile clobber and go to a tasting area.

The tour and tasting ends and we thank our host. We go outside and there are a whole bunch of vintage Jaguars.

We drive to another nearby town for a Jamon lunch.

We jump back onto the bus to go back to Seville. We have an interesting night in front of us.

At the break, Anna and Julie are taught Flamenco moves

We then went out for a dinner, as if we really needed it.

Well, that is the end of Day 3. It was packed with activities and food. It took me several days to finish this post and still 11+ days of Posts to go.
