This engaging little private museum takes you through the wonderful world of Spanish foods, with a focus on those from the Segovia region. There are sections on local cheeses, wines, cured meats, ponche segoviano and even a section on the local whisky, DYC. There are some good video displays (mostly in Spanish), though most sections of the museum have English summaries alongside the main text.
