Myself and a very good friend went on Motorcycles through most of the Natural Park, absolutely amazing although the roads at times leave a lot to the imagination, especially on a bike when you are several thousands of feet up with very few barriers and then down again, hair pin bends and uneven road surfaces just wide enough for 2 cars passing slowly. However all that said, it was one of the most amazing trips i have been on and the sights are breath taking.

We hiked 20KM from the start to the lagoon at the top and back down, views all the way along the route are spectacular and there are plenty of places en route to stop and enjoy a swim or paddle in the river, we had our small dog with us and he loved the water stops! During the hike there is a mix of shade and sun so be prepared for the heat. Its our second visit to this route and it wont be our last.. truly memorable and if you like nature and the outdoors you will love this area!

So glad we discovered this interesting museum. From the wonderful restored Arab baths in the basement to the roof top terrace and cafe with some of the best views over Jaén and much more in between, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

The cathedral is a majestic renaissance building. Its architect, Andrés de Vandelvira, designed a very harmonious cathedral; the best perception of its harmony, it is when you go upstairs, and you look at the cathedral from the upper galleries. To visit the Cathedral, it is necessary to pay 6 euros, including the entry an audio guide. The texts are of high quality, but perhaps too technical, for those who do not master the technical vocabulary, referring to architectural elements. Enjoy!

La Sinagoga del Agua has been discovered in 2007 and opened to public visits in 2010 in the monumental city of Úbeda by the family Crespo- López.

This was very moving. After seeing many ancient Christian and Muslim houses of worship and artifacts, it was refreshing to visit this gem representing the important presence of the Jewish population of Spain

Reviewed By sallyr922 - Alicante, Spain
Surrounded by olive trees the views are amazing. The old city is very interesting but not suitable for a wheelchair as very hilly and cobbled streets. A must is to visit an olive oil factory. We visited one in Begijar. 12euros for a taxi there and 12 back. Very helpful. We stayed at the top of Baeza near the cathedral and is was very difficult driving the car up there. Limited parking in the hotel garage. But a lovely place and would certainly return.
