The absolute place for Jamon Iberico lovers. Possibly the widest selection of Jamon Iberico, from several region in Spain. They either serve it on the table, with a glass of wine and Manchego or you can take it with you. Personally, there is no way that I will pass by the neighbourhood and not pay a visit to grab my dose of Iberico.
