ルーシ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.

This iconic street was made pedestrian-only several years ago to enhance the city center, where shops are concentrated offering visitors a variety of products, from prized Extra Virgin olive oil to ceramics and other objects.

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.

In the province of Jaén, there are many olive oil mills established as cooperatives that produce, process, and export the different types of oils obtained from the olive milling process. These oils are classified into categories that are typically sold directly to consumers or exported to countries within the European Union, which enjoy the privileges that this premium oil provides.

We are standing on a footbridge built to cross the A-316 highway over the bike lane that connects the World Heritage towns of Úbeda and Baeza. This footbridge, authorized exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians, avoids a dangerous crossing to reach the other side of the road, which, incidentally, is a major artery with a lot of traffic.

This viewpoint is located on the Paseo de la Muralla (walled walkway) and very close to the Bullring. It offers views of the entire Guadalquivir River valley, the Sierra de Mágina mountain range with Aznaitín peak, and behind it, Almadén. In the background, to the right, we can see the city of Jaén with its castle as a lookout tower.

This emblematic street in Baeza was laid out on part of the old wall that surrounded the city, becoming definitively configured in 1714, and throughout its existence, it has been an important backbone of the city of Baeza.
