Start your journey meeting your private guide in the center of Baeza, in the old Plaza del Mercado now known as Paseo or Plaza Principal. Then head to Plaza Pópulo, one of the most surprising urban complexes in the city, surrounded by the old Notary Public, the Arco de Villalar, the old Public Carnage and the Fountain of the Lions.
After a short walk, learn about the “Vítores” or graffiti from the 17th century made by students on the facade of the old Baeza Major Seminary and visit the interesting contrast of the Gothic, Plateresque, Arabic and Renaissance architecture in the Cathedral of Baeza, built right on the location of the old main mosque.
Stroll through the narrow alleys around the Cathedral and admire panoramic views of the “Sea of Olives” and the valley of the Guadalquivir River.
Admire the incredible Plateresque façade of the Jabalquinto Palace and the Church of Santa Cruz, 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 for about 7 years. The classroom where I used to teach has remained the same.
After a 10-minute walk, Úbeda awaits us.
He gasps before the domain of Diego de Siloé and Andrés de Vandelvira, the two architects in charge of the Capilla del Salvador, one of the best Renaissance buildings in Spain, a burial place for Francisco de los Cobos and his family.
Surprise yourself with the contemplation of the Vázquez de Molina square, considered the best Renaissance urban mode in Europe and a real pleasure for the eyes. The Capilla del Salvador, the Dean Ortega Palace, the Vázquez de Molina Palace, the Mancera Palace, the Bishop’s Jail and Our Lady of the Alcázares, all located around this magical place, make this square the main reason why Úbeda was declared a World Heritage Site. .
Also discover the old Market Square and the Church of San Pablo, one of the oldest temples in the city, with an interesting combination of Gothic and Plateresque style.
An official tourist guide will tell you legends, stories and everything you need to know to get a complete perception of these two hidden gems in the province of Jaén.
