Arkeo Tour was born from an idea of a group of youngs from Andalusia and Madrid who loved its History, culture and heritage. Our team is made up of great professionals with extensive experience in managing of tourist groups and cultural visits in different parts of Spain. Most of us have trained on the street, collaborating in different archaeological sites, art galleries and museums. We consider that our land has great heritage and cultural potential that must be valued for both residents and tourists. We do not believe that transmitting our history is bored. We want you to enjoy it. May you live the experience. And that you impregnate yourself with the vestiges of our past. Join this adventure with us!
Our official tourist guides have prepared a very special visit to remember the events that marked a before and after in Jaén: the terrible Civil War. A conflict that pitted Spaniards against Spaniards between 1936 and 1939, and which still maintains very open wounds today.
We will stroll through those places in the city that allow us to reflect on the conflict and we will understand the importance of Jaén as a bastion of the republican resistance. Let us not forget that the capital of Jaén (along with Huelva and Almería) was one of the few places in Andalusia that remained faithful to the established order, after Lieutenant General Queipo de Llano called for an uprising from Seville.
We will tell you how the assault on the Convent of La Merced took place, how the popular courts such as the Church of the Tabernacle functioned, where the republican Czechs were located or what was called "the Trains of Death".
In addition, we will learn about the bombings suffered in the city by Franco's aviation and its allies, such as that of the Nazi Condor Legion that left 159 dead and 280 injured in a single day. Hence the importance of building anti-aircraft shelters so that most of the population could hide.
D uring our tour we will have the privilege of visiting the air raid shelter in Plaza De Santiago for free. A place that will allow us to remember and honor the victims of the conflict.
Only groups of up to 6 people are allowed in this activity. If you are 7 or more people, you will be asked for a payment per person in advance to join the visit.
It is recommended to arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before the start of the route to organize the group
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
