Description
Baeza Paseo de las Murallas and Antonio Machado. It begins in the Plaza de los Leones. Continue along the path of the walls and continue along the Antonio Machado walk. Good views of the Bishop Academy and Jaén olive oil bridge. We continue along the route and see a tribute to D. Antonio Machado. And from here at the end Impressive views of the Guadalquivir valley and at the end views of Úbeda.Little by little, Antonio Machado is adapting to the rural environment of Baeza and its dazzling landscape outside the walls. Enjoy peri-urban walks that take you to the Alcázar hill and over the remains of the old wall. One of the spaces most frequented by Antonio Machado, who visits it again and again in his meditation exercises. At one point on said walk, a plaque and a monument to Antonio Machado with a bust of Pablo Serrano commemorate the poet today. This sculpture was made to honor the poet in 1966, although it did not arrive in Baeza until 1983. From the viewpoints along the promenade it dominates the middle valley of the Guadalquivir with its beautiful horizon carpeted with olive trees and outlined by the Cazorla, Mágina mountain ranges and the Aznaitín and Jabalcuz mountains. This image serves as an escape and an impulse for his creative capacity, creating here sublime verses that describe this landscape.

Guadalquivir, like a broken cutlass and scattered, shines and mirrors. (…)
