Description
In the province of Jaén, just ten kilometers apart by fields of olive trees, there are two cities that preserve Spanish Renaissance in an extraordinary state of conservation. Úbeda and Baeza were declared World Heritage by the UNESCO and are, together with the great ensembles of Italy, an unmissable reference of Renaissance urbanism in Europe. From Granada, with transfer and expert guide included, our full-day excursion allows you to know them with the context and the time they deserve.
What you'll see and experience
- Baeza, monumental city: Cobblestone and quiet streets with one of the most notable collections of monuments in Andalusia. The Plaza de Santa María, the Cathedral of the Nativity, the Palace of Jabalquinto and the footprint of Antonio Machado, who lived here for seven years. Free time to explore and eat.
- Úbeda, capital of Andalusian Renaissance: The Holy Chapel of the Savior, the Basilica of Santa María de los Reales Alcázares and the Palace of the Chains form one of the most impressive historical centers in Spain. Guided tour with detailed explanations and free time afterwards to discover the city at your own pace.
- Panoramic route between the two cities: The journey between Baeza and Úbeda crosses an endless sea of olive trees that defines the landscape of the Campiña de Jaén. A visual breath between two heritage jewels that deserves to be contemplated calmly.
