Surrounded by olive groves, the city of Jaén is one of the gates of Andalusia. Located in the northeast of the Andalusian autonomous community, straddling the Sierra Morena and the Betic Cordilleras, it shelters the source of the Guadalquivir. Its Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin faces the Town Hall and the Episcopal Palace. It is huge for a city of this size.

Jaén is a beautiful city in Andalusia, known for its olive groves and rich Moorish heritage. The city is a mix of old and new architecture, with highlights including the Catedral de la Asunción de Jaén and the Santa Capilla de San Andrés. The imposing Castillo de Santa Catalina stands on a hilltop, offering spectacular views over the city and surrounding olive groves. Jaén offers a peaceful, authentic Andalusian experience, away from the hustle and bustle of the larger cities. The local cuisine is rich and varied, with an emphasis on olive oil, a major export from the region.
