Tour description

Have you come to Jaén looking to visit the most important sites of the area?
On this tour, you will discover why Jaén is the capital with the highest number of castles in Spain or why it is known as the capital of the holy kingdom.

It is a city with a rich history and culture, located in the south of Spain. Known for its ancient monuments and spectacular natural landscapes, Jaén is a must-visit tourist destination for those looking to discover the beauty and cultural richness of Spain.

🏰Itinerary:

On this walking tour, we will start at the Plaza de Santa María to explore the jewel of Jaén, its cathedral. Here we will see how Fernando III the Saint conquered the city in 1246 from Arab hands.

Later, we will find ourselves at the palace of Don Miguel Lucas de Iranzo, and you will be surprised by why it was so important in Jaén during the 15th century.

Subsequently, we will go to the San Lorenzo Arch, where you will learn what the arch has to do with the legend of Fernando IV the Summoned.

As we progress, there will be time to talk about the importance of gastronomy and Jaén's olive oil as we walk towards the air-raid shelter.

Of course, this route includes an inside visit to the 11th-century Arab baths of Jaén. The best-preserved baths in Europe! Afterwards, we will be able to see the best panoramic views of Jaén.

Finally, we will end our route in the Magdalena neighborhood and the origin of the lizard of Jaén!

Do you dare to discover it in a different way? Immerse yourself in a Jaén of the 3 cultures!
