Follow the streets towards the old Roman Ruins and look for the Museum of Ham. This establishment sells a selection of the famous spanish hams of various types, ages and prices. This is a franchise and not actually a museum! I like this concept and often call in their fast moving stand up eatery when in Madrid. Normally for breakfast.
Its a very good way to learn and taste without overcommitting your budget to a full racion in a restaurant or bar.
I always to try to call here if I have a flight back the following day, I ask the staff here to make me a little lunch box of their ham and cheese to eat on the flight home.
If this is your first taste of the ledgendary iberico acorn fed black pig air dried ham, taste it with a good wine or even better a dry glass of fino sherry.
Then if the sun is not too intense walk further up and explore the Alcazaba.
It's very minimal in cost to enter and for me a Master of Pure Andalucia
Undisputedly one of my favourite historical sites, rarely busy, but truly memorable.
