Food & Drink in Salamanca

Discover the unique wine and villages of the Sierra de Salamanca

Salamanca, a visit to the golden city.

A city I visited many years ago. This time I enjoyed it much more with a 4-day stay, reserving one to visit Ciudad Rodrigo. A historic city that has palaces, two cathedrals, the famous university, cloisters, and of course its famous Plaza Mayor on every street.

Visit to the Ham Factory in Salamanca. Tasting and Masterclass

Iberian ham tour

It was fascinating to learn about the iberian pig and processes. The tasting was good to experience the flavours of the various cuts and qualities of meat. Despite the tour operator booking me alone when the minimum is two people I was acomafated by the company which is a credit to the company and excellent customer service...

Perfect Wine Day Trip from Salamanca

On our first trip to Spain, we knew we wanted to do a wine tour and came across Don Federico on Tripadvisor. It was a good way for us to make use of our time and see as much as we could in the day we had. I think we were there first tour since the pandemic! We got to see a few different wineries including tasting directly between the vines and going into the underground bodegas! We also got an amazing lunch with multiple delicious courses. It was a pretty hot day and they were even great about figuring out last minute 'side tours' to cool down (stop to have a drink in a square or beat the heat in a random church). Lots of great conversation and memories. We were picked up from our hotel and door-to-door everything was taken care of for us which felt amazing. We'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to devote a day to wine!
