An Amazing Area

A short walk takes you to the village of Alájar, with its white houses and cobblestone streets. A few charming bars and restaurants with character line the streets, there are also small shops for everyday needs. High above the village is a rock with a 16th century farmstead.

Alájar is the Arabic name for stone and in fact it is a rock called Peña de Arias Montano, which towers over the city and the life of the 836 inhabitants. From there, the village appears like the cut silhouette of a lizard, framed by green forests and meadows. Iberian ham comes from the area around Alájar, a delicacy that can be bought in many shops here. Everywhere, around the city you can see meadows where the Iberian pigs live. They are mainly fed with acorns, which give the ham its distinctive taste.
