¿Por qué elegir Jaén?

Jaén es el destino ideal para la organización de cualquier tipo de congreso, incentivo o encuentro profesional.

Las ciudades renacentistas Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Úbeda y Baeza cuentan con infraestructuras dotadas de todos los servicios y comodidades, ubicadas en edificios de singularidad histórica y artística. Esto unido a que la provincia aporta la mayor concentración de castillos y fortalezas de Europa; hace de Jaén un lugar diferente para el segmento MICE.

Jaén es un gran pulmón verde. Es la provincia española con mayor extensión de espacios protegidos, con cuatro parques naturales (Despeñaperros, Sierra de Andújar, Sierra Mágina y Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas) que son todo un paraíso para el turismo activo así como para la organización de actividades de team building y responsabilidad social corporativa. 

Si hay una característica que diferencia a otros destinos es que Jaén ofrece el mejor escenario para la práctica del Oleoturismo. Empresas especializadas te invitan a un viaje inmersivo para conocer la milenaria cultura del olivar con actividades como visitar las almazaras donde se realiza el proceso de extracción, conocer museos temáticos, ser recolector por un día y elaborar tu propio aceite, realizar catas de aceite profesionales o aprender a cocinar con restauradores de prestigio y disfrutar de la gastronomía elaborada con el mejor aceite de oliva virgen extra.

Because it has it all

Jaén has all the conditions required for a meeting. Infrastructures for events, quality gastronomy, services, complementary offer, strategic location in the Andalusian and Spanish context and a wide network of charming accommodations from modern hotels, establishments with spa, castles, Renaissance palaces or farmhouses that make unforgettable moments lived in them.

Because it is a unique place

Jaén, with its serenity, is a territory that offers the best of itself to make its visitors enjoy themselves. Because you can attend a business meeting in a chapel, eat in a bullring, dine in a castle and sleep in a palace; meet in an old hospital, eat in an oil mill or sleep in a hotel with a spa in the middle of nature. Walk through the streets that inspired Machado, contemplate authentic jewels of the Southern Renaissance, watch a sunset over the largest olive forest in the world or live exciting adventures in the heart of nature where the Guadalquivir River is born. You can only do this in Jaén.

Because it is closer than you think

Because it is connected by motorway to the capital of the country and to the capital of the region. Jaén is less than 3 hours from Madrid and just over 2 hours from Seville. Because it is less than two hours from Malaga international airport and less than one hour from "Federico García Lorca" airport, Granada-Jaén. Its connection to the railway network offers another alternative for easy access to the province.

Because it has competence and experience in professional meetings

The province of Jaén has a long history of organising meetings and events. Expoliva, the international reference fair for the olive sector, is proof of this. For the development of any type of event, the province has reliable companies that facilitate its organization and unique spaces to make it a success and a unique experience.

Because it has an attractive complementary offer

Dramatised visits, capeas, multi-adventure activities in protected areas, medieval dinners, extra virgin olive oil tastings, oil therapy sessions, astro-tourism in Starlight reserves, craftwork with master craftsmen, photographic observation and hunting of birds and protected fauna in any of our four natural parks... The province of Jaén has a wide range of service companies and offers to make the complementary programme that must accompany any business or professional meeting unforgettable. Moreover, the glossary of cultural and leisure activities distributed throughout the calendar makes this destination ideal for congress tourism.

Because it has an exceptional gastronomy

The more than 66 million olive trees that make up the most resounding landscape of the province produce the best extra virgin oil in the world, a pillar of the Mediterranean Diet, a World Heritage Site and an unquestionable source of health. To the variety and richness of dishes that make up the gastronomy of Jaén, we can add the dishes prepared by avant-garde restaurateurs who are part of the list of the main gastronomic guides of international prestige. Tapas are a sign of identity of the province, small gastronomic pleasures where the tapa is included in the price of the drink.

Because we help you to organize your event
