A spectacular place with a new sculpture every day. But keep in mind that it's a private space where the owner has created his own non-profit gallery. It should be respected, and if it's not well signposted, simply asking around and spreading the word will surely help ensure this unique spot remains undisturbed.

Don't mistake the Fortress of La Mota for a castle! The entire city of Alcalá la Real was once located within its walls, and you'll need more than an hour to explore it. Guided tours are also available in German, French, and English (in addition to Spanish) if you'd like (maicamero.com).

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.

Roca Toñi is a very special place. It is a private area with several cave dwellings artfully carved out of the stone, as well as numerous sculptures carved into the stone or out of the stone. As this area is privately owned, you have to make an appointment in advance or be lucky enough to run into Toñi and Manuel by chance and be invited by them to take a look. It is definitely worth it.
