Spain's main export to the world is ham. Currently there is a glut of 40 million hams of all types on the market, so much so that the price has plunged. You are likely to get a ham if you open a bank account, buy a car, a house or anything. Hams are given away as promotional incentives. At the airport duty free section you can buy 2 and get one free. In fact Spain is probably hell for vegetarians, meat is so much part of everyday life. We bought some ourselves an offer to good to resist. A chain of shops is called the Museum of ham, where you can sample ham and sausages, buy cheeses and wines to go with ham. It is not very Kosher but lots of fun with beautiful displays. You should know that ham produced from black pigs fed on acorns is the most expensive at 30 Euros a kilo and ham produced from white pigs fed usual corn or feed diet is less expensive at 9.50 Euros a kilo and more of an every day fare.
