If Andalucía is the soul of classic Spain, then the inner regions are the heartland. Nearly all of the Iberian Peninsula’s powerhouse produce comes from inland Spain, namely Extremadura, La Rioja and the Castile regions. It is also an area of immense natural beauty, offering excellent opportunities for outdoor adventures. Hundreds of miles of vineyards and farmlands, where the Iberian pig roams freely alongside blossoming cherry trees, make up the home of Spain’s most delectable delicacies, warranting a trip if only to savor jamón de bellota and a bottle of Ribera del Duero wine at its absolute best.
