Úbeda was declared a World Heritage City thanks to its Renaissance-era historic buildings. A stroll through its historic quarter explains this title, which was awarded thanks to the wealth of heritage and history in its streets, palaces, churches and museums. The city is also rich in crafts, cuisine and Andalusian folklore. The title is shared with the city of Baeza, which is also noted for its Renaissance-era historic buildings and which is located just a few kilometres from Úbeda.
The Parador de Úbeda is also a good destination for nature lovers. The city is the gateway to the Cazorla, Segura y las Villas and Sierra Mágina natural parks.
A few kilometres from Úbeda is Baeza. Both were declared World Heritage Cities thanks to their Renaissance-era historic buildings. In Baeza, you must visit its Cathedral, the seminary of San Felipe Neri, the Palace of Jabalquinto, the Old University, the churches of Santa Cruz, San Andrés and El Salvador and the convent of San Francisco.
The city of Jaén is just 57 kilometres away and, if nature is your thing, be sure to visit to the Cazorla and Segura nature reserves.
