Overview
Footloose Mark and Claudia are in hog heaven as the road trip winds through Castilla y León. Mark and Claudia hunt down a plate of incredible Jamón Ibérico in Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor. Their interest perked, they decide to head right to the source – a traditional farm that raises the famous black–footed pigs. Their porcine pilgrimage continues to Segovia where Bitty and Bassols eat like emperors in the shadow of the city’s 2,000–year–old aqueduct. Feeling a little pigged–out, Mark and Claudia return to Basque country, unearthing a medieval cathedral and sampling Vitoria’s finest tapas.
