General presentation
Jaén, Úbeda et Baeza
Inner Andalusia between olive groves, classified Renaissance cities, Jaén castle and access to the mountains of Cazarla.
The discovery of Jaén, Úbeda and Baeza revolves around Jaen, Ubeda and Baeza. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, countryside and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: very hot in summer and less adapted to a first beach stay. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City and castle
Jaén
Jaén is characterized by a solid urban silhouette and a historical presence visible from the central squares. By mixing light fortification areas with lively streets, the visitor captures how the city tells its own permanence. The best passage often stays out of peak crowd, to let architectural details emerge without competition.
Renaissance City
Úbeda
Úbeda has an elegant Renaissance setting, with worked facades, classical squares and neighborhoods that remain very frequentable on foot. The beauty of the place arises from the proximity between large urban compositions and simple street scenes. A course in the morning allows you to enjoy the light-matter contrasts on the stone.
Renaissance City
Baeza
Baeza concentrates stone squares, Renaissance palaces and quiet patios in a centre where the facades seem to take the color of the sun. The streets around the cathedral and the old university offer a compact tour, ideal for watching portals, arcades and open views to olive groves.
Nature park
Sierra de Cazorla
The Sierra de Cazorla exhibits a varied nature, with rolling lines, water lines and trail paths that require a gradual reading. The place is savored by varying the rates: slow climb, pause, resumption, and return to the observation areas. The changes in light give this massive an almost kinetic depth.
