Jabugo is situated in the Sierra de Huelva region, approximately 102 kilometers from the provincial capital.

The history of Jabugo dates back to the Paleolithic era, with significant findings from the Neolithic period in the Cueva de la Mora.

Jabugo is internationally recognized for its jamón ibérico, produced under the Denominación de Origen Protegida Jabugo. The unique microclimate of the region, combined with the traditional practices of raising Iberian pigs, contributes to the distinctive flavor and quality of the ham. However, the local economy is heavily reliant on this industry, posing risks if diversification does not occur.
