JustMe Try Aldi in Spain on your travels,surprising quality and value for such products.
Titanicboy Actually, even Spanish Serrano Ham knocks the now almost always tasteless Parma Ham into a cocked hat!
Hyram P Goode-Resin Groupon sometimes do an offer for this and it still costs about £70!
JK2006 They are raving about this on Saturday Kitchen ; some may remember my going on about it a few years ago on here.

It's incredibly expensive (Deniz refuses to eat it when I buy it for him) but worth every penny - or pound; fed on acorns, it reminds you of what ham ought to taste like. We've lost our taste buds in the decades of water processing. Try a few slices as a seasonal treat; you'll never eat any other kind of ham again.

A bit like avocados (only Haas have any flavour) and strawberries (avoid Elsanta as my friend Jane Moore exposed on TV ages ago); to get true flavour takes quite some effort and a few quid these days.

I think I'll have a blind test dinner party at the house in the New Year with friends offered two small plates of identical food; except one plate has the genuine articles where the other sports supermarket mass packaged equivalents.
