Start your journey by meeting your private guide in the centre of Baeza, in the old Market Square known now as the Paseo or Main Square. Then head to Pópulo Square, one of the most surprising urban complexes in the city, surrounded by the old public Notary, the Arch of Villalar, the old public Butcher shop and the fountain of the Lions.
After a little walk, learn about the “Vítores” or 17th Century graffities made by students in the façade of the old Mayor Seminary of Baeza and visit the interesting contrast of Gothic, Plateresque, Moorish and Renaissance architecture in the Cathedral of Baeza, built up right in the location of the old Main Mosque.
Wander the narrow alleys around the Cathedral and amaze at the panoramic views of the “sea of olive trees” and the Guadalquivir river valley.
Admire the incredible Plateresque façade of Jabalquinto Palace and Santa Cruz church, the best preserved Romanesque temple in Andalusia.
Finish this first tour at the old University of Baeza, where the famous Spanish poet Antonio Machado taught French language for about 7 years. The classroom where he used to teach has been kept the same.
After a 10 minutes ride, Úbeda awaits for us.
Gasp at the mastery of Diego de Siloé and Andrés de Vandelvira, the two architects in charge of the Saviour Chapel, one of the finest Renaissance buildings in Spain, burial place for Francisco de los Cobos and his family.
Amaze at the contemplation of Vazquez de Molina Square, considered the best Renaissance urban mode in Europe and a real treat to your sight. The Saviour Chapel, the palace of Dean Ortega, Vazquez de Molina Palace, Mancera Palace, the Bishop’s Jail and Our Lady of the Alcázares, all located around this magical location, turn this square into the main reason why Úbeda was declared a World Heritage site.
Discover also the old Market Square and St Paul’s Church, one of the oldest temples in the city, with an interesting combination of Gothic and Plateresque style.
An oficial tour guide will tell you legends, stories and everything you need to know to get a complete perception of these two hidden jewels in the province of Jaén.
