Valdepeñas de Jaén is a charming town nestled between the impressive mountain ranges of the Sierra de la Pandera to the north and the Sierra de Alta Coloma to the southeast. Founded in 1539, the town boasts a typical Renaissance townscape characterized by a checkerboard pattern. It was granted independent city status in 1558. Valdepeñas de Jaén offers numerous attractions, such as the Ermita de Chircales, a small chapel that reflects the region's spiritual history with religious paintings and a hermit's cave. Another highlight is the Molino de Harina, a still-working watermill that offers fascinating insight into traditional flour production.

Nature lovers can discover the Chorreras del Río Vadillo, a series of natural waterfalls formed by the Vadillo River and surrounded by trails offering beautiful views. The region is also a paradise for outdoor activities such as cycling. The lush forests and picturesque landscape provide ideal conditions for cyclists exploring the beautiful Sierra Sur. For a culinary experience, head to the hilltop restaurant El Quejigo del Carbón, known not only for its excellent cuisine but also for its breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Valdepeñas de Jaén is the perfect place to combine history, nature, culture, and sporting activities.
