Information
It reopened in 2020 after a major refurbishment and a change to the decoration to highlight the building’s stone and arches.
Its traditional Andalusian Renaissance style combined with regional craftsmanship has been maintained.
The Parador is some 800 metres above the city of Jaén, so the views are spectacular, from both the rooms and the common areas. Inside you can enjoy the impressive vaulted ceiling in the main hall, the arches and the chandeliers.
Environment
Nor should you miss losing yourself in the Arab Baths, the largest and best-preserved in Europe. They are in the Villadompardo Palace and were built in the 11th century. What better way to cool down after a long day spent visiting the city?
The province of Jaén also offers unique places such as Baeza and Úbeda. If you’re a lover of nature, you can discover the Sierra de Cazorla and la Sierra de Mágina and the distinctive olive groves.

In the monumental dining hall with large stone pointed arches, wooden ceilings and spectacular chandeliers you will enjoy, like a feudal lord, typical local specialities such as gazpacho (tomato soup), ajo blanco (garlic soup) or pipirrana (salad with tomatoes, onion and peppers). Do not miss out on game meat recipes such as partridge terrine, wild boar stew or Baños-style deer. Nuts or extra virgin olive oil are the basis of exquisite convent sweets, puff pastries and sponge cakes.
