The Villa of Guijuelo is located in the foothills of the Gredos Sierra, at a height of 1000 meters over sea level, with a landscape that can be regarded as intermediate, ranging from the rugged mountain slopes right through to the forest areas, including the 'dehesas' and cereal producing steppes of the Castilian-Leonese plains and tablelands. This is what insures a climate of long, cold and dry winters, with short summers and dominating low-humidity winds that are ideal for all the production phases involved in the Ibérico industry. Hence, the phrase "cradle of Ibérico Ham" that the Guijuelo Denomination of Origin has been using as their advertising slogan for decades now (Denomination to which Beher has belonged as of day one).
