Specifically, we are in Villafranca de los Caballeros (Toledo), one of the municipalities that produces the most saffron annually: "In the 1970s, this municipality produced around 5,000 kilos of saffron; today, in all of Spain, we only manage to reach 500, half of which is still produced here," explains Santiago Alberca, a producer and member of the La Mancha Saffron PDO. #infiltrada20-video
