Jaraiz de la Vera

Few towns in Extremadura have a history as closely tied to the production of smoked paprika as Jaraiz de la Vera. In the La Vera comarca, on the southern side of the Sierra de Gredos, it is closely associated with Pimentón de la Vera, the region’s protected paprika. Peppers are traditionally dried over wood fires, a process that gives the spice its distinctive smoky aroma and deep red colour. This agricultural craft remains central to local identity, while the town’s setting links the mountain foothills with the Tiétar valley.
