ウベダのおすすめツーリングルート

Right at the entrance to the city of Baeza, we find another example of water-related art, as this three-spout fountain spouts fresh water to quench our thirst.

A potter recognized by the city is undoubtedly "Paco Tito," who has established himself as a great creator of clay-related art, reaching levels that would be difficult for any ordinary person to surpass. Thus, the city, in recognition of this local artist, created the museum that bears his name.

In the San Millán neighborhood, we find this square decorated with pottery objects that recall the past of this part of the city, where large quantities of objects dedicated to various local activities were produced, such as pitchers, jugs, plates, etc. In the square, we find three large jars that recall times past.

Very close to the San Millán neighborhood, dedicated almost exclusively to pottery, we find this small gateway to the walled city. It is in very good condition and is visited by many tourists who decide to visit the beautiful city of Úbeda.

In 1978, a space in the convent of San Miguel was converted into a museum dedicated to Saint John of the Cross, displaying artifacts related to his life and work. We also find a perfect adaptation of the house where the saint and poet lived.

Built in 1587, it is in the Baroque architectural style and dedicated to Christian worship. Its interior features a Latin cross layout with three naves, and the main altar features contemporary paintings alluding to the Archangel Saint Michael. Although it may seem strange, it is the only building in the town erected in honor of the patron saint of Ubeda.

This is a very well-preserved section of Úbeda's ancient wall, which also includes a tower and a small space dedicated to rest. We are in the heart of the city, very close to the Town Hall and where most of the town's monuments are located.

The administration responsible for this area decided to invest a few euros in sprucing up a small rest area for users of the bike path connecting the towns of Úbeda and Baeza with this proposal, which includes metal bicycle racks, several trees for shade, and some benches for resting. Unfortunately, what's missing is a water fountain for cooling off or refilling water containers, but otherwise, it's very good.
