This post’s “characteristic” is not shared with Morocco.
More than two thousand years ago Roman invaders enthused about the particular excellence of Iberian pork, most especially that from black pigs which ate acorns.
In 2025 Spain is almost certainly the world’s most “porkophiliac” nation.
For visitors who like to eat pigs, Spain is an unbeatable destination.
Q: What do the finest air-cured hams I have ever eaten, the best woodfired pork I have ever tasted and the most delicious slow-cooked pork dish I have ever encountered have in common?
A: All were eaten in Spain.
Sheer excellence is not the only reason that – via la Reconquista – pork came to reign in the cuisine of Spain.
The Spanish Inquisition also played a key role!
