Getaway in Jaén: plans to enjoy the landscape, history and gastronomy

Making a escape to Jaén is an invitation to slow the pace between olive landscapes, Renaissance streets and culinary experiences with identity. In the first months of the year, the province is enjoyed with calm: walks through historical ensembles, soft routes in the saw and catas of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Why choose Jaén

Jaén is a perfect destination for those who want a plan calmly. On the one hand, it brings together a great diversity of declared historical sets, with streets that invite you to walk without haste, charming squares and corners that appear when you least expect it.

On the other hand, the olive sea marks the character of the territory and turns any escape into a sensory experience. And if you look for something different, the saws and low light pollution areas allow you to add a night under the stars to close the day in a special way.
