Jaen's huge Cathedral by Vandelvira
The Cathedral and its Plaza
Sit on one of the weathered stone benches under the gigantic magnolia trees and admire the monstruous cathedral. Take a stroll to one of the fountains and people watch - locals meeting and greeting, hugging, kissing and semaphore arm waving.
Arab Baths and Museums
Take a walk up the back streets to the Arab Bath situated in the basement of the Palacio de Villardompardo.These are best preserved Moorish baths in Spain. In the Palace above is a Naif Arts Museum and the Museum of Traditions and Customs. A three-in-one visit.
An 1888 Bar
Visit the Bar El Gorrion for lunch or tapas, this bar was opened in 1888 and has hardly changed. An unusual setting with a great selection of tapas.
Jaen's cross overlooking the city
Up The Hill
Go up the Santa Catalina hill, walk to the end of its walkway, where there's a huge white monumental cross. Admire the city sprawl and olive grove view, backtrack to the castle and enjoy its history and interpretation centre.
Dine in Style at Most Majestically Sighted Parador in Spain
Have an aperitif under the 20m vaulted gothic ceiling of The Parador de Santa Catalina and dine in splendour in the restaurant. The perfect end to an amazing day.
