What people eat in Extremadura when they eat well.
From pigs raised in the dehesa pastures; the Extremaduran larder starts here.
Creamy sheep's cheese eaten with a spoon, with the rind as a lid.
Bread, paprika and pork crackling: a shepherds' breakfast that is now a Sunday dish.
Smoked over holm-oak wood; it gives colour and soul to half of Spanish cooking.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
