Jamón ibérico is mostly from Extremadura and northwest Andalucía.
In any case, our cuisine is so rich and different that I wouldn´t dare to choose a single dish from a particular region.

Hola
Yes another vote for Boquerones. Also Chopito (fried whole baby squid), red peppers on crusty bed and anchovies. Washed down with cerveza in a lively bar hosting a flamenco performance - Maria, Maria =D>

Pimientos de Padron! They are little green peppers, flash fried in olive oil. They are from Galicia, but I have eaten them in Barcelona. If you see them, do not pass them up.
In Barcelona I also loved the canneloni stuffed with meat - a very rich and delicious dish of the region. Yum.
