The perfect place to try this delicacy from the dehesa pastures
Benquerencia is one of the 19 towns on the Montánchez Ham Route, the region in which it is located. If you are following the route, this town is well worth a stop to enjoy some DO Dehesa de Extremadura ham in a different setting.
Benquerencia also produces some excellent sweets, such as its "rosca piñonate", "rosca del candil", "flores" and "escaldaíllo".
