The Jamon Museum, Madrid
A unique museum in Madrid where you can taste the exhibits and even buy it. Local citizens are frequent visitors here to buy some jamon for dinner.

For travelers this place is a real museum of traditional Spanish ham, for local people this is a butcher's shop with a lot of different kinds of jamon, where to pop into before dinner.
 
In total, there are five museums of jamon in Madrid, the first one was opened in 1978 on Paseo del Prado Blvd.

Here you can't find dusty exhibits and guides. Instead, there is an abundance of whole ham of a dried jamon. Cooks in amusing hats tell the story of their national product and even give it a try.

In the restaurant on the second floor, you can taste finely chopped curado, drinking a glass of red wine.
