Description
In the province of Jaén, barely ten kilometres apart and separated by an endless stretch of olive groves, lie two cities that preserve Spanish Renaissance architecture in an extraordinary state of conservation. Úbeda and Baeza were declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites and stand, alongside the great Italian ensembles, as an unmissable reference in European Renaissance urbanism. From Granada, with transfer and expert guide included, this full-day excursion allows you to explore both cities with the context and time they deserve.
What you'll see and experience:
- Baeza, a monumental city: Quiet cobbled streets and one of the most remarkable collections of monuments in Andalusia. The Plaza de Santa María, the Cathedral, the Palacio de Jabalquinto and the legacy of poet Antonio Machado, who lived here for seven years. Free time to explore and eat.
- Úbeda, capital of Andalusian Renaissance: The Santa Capilla del Salvador, the Basilica of Santa María de los Reales Alcázares and the Palacio de las Cadenas form one of the most breathtaking historic centres in Spain. Guided tour with detailed explanations and free time afterwards to explore at your own pace.
- Panoramic route between the two cities: The drive between Baeza and Úbeda passes through a vast sea of olive trees that defines the landscape of the Campiña de Jaén. A visual pause between two heritage gems worth taking in slowly.
