Things to do in Baeza, Andalucia: The Best Cultural Tours
Baeza (Spanish pronunciation: [baˈeθa]), formerly also written as Baéza, is an Andalusian town in the province of Jaén in southern Spain. It lies perched on a cliff in the Loma de Úbeda, the range separating the Guadalquivir River to its south from the Guadalimar to its north. It is now principally famed for having some of the best-preserved examples of Italian Renaissance architecture in Spain. Along with Úbeda, it was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2003. The former Visigothic bishopric of Baeza remains a Latin Catholic titular see.

Baeza tour well organised and very knowledgeable guide but for me it was too much like a class in building styles with a few stories from the lives of historical characters thrown in. In contrast the Ubeda tour used the buildings to illustrate a very well told history of the town which gave a real feel for how it has developed through the ages. It was very interesting.

The tour guide is very knowledgeable and makes Jaen come to life. He cleverly chose details of the cathedral and the baths to illustrate many interesting things about both sites and puts them in their historical context. The whole tour had a theme - a dragon, the Jaen dragon, which makes what could be a difficult and heavy subject great fun. The addition of a bit of olive oil tasting and discussion of olive farming and sustainable agriculture just toped it off. Thoroughly recommended.
