An hour-and-a-half north of Granada, Úbeda and its little sister Baeza are famed for their gorgeous Renaissance architecture. The capital of Andalucía's Jaén region, Úbeda is a small city rich in culture. Surrounded by olive groves, it’s also a favourite amongst outdoorsy explorers. Expect a good selection of accommodation options fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Our pick of the best places to stay in Úbeda, for instance, includes a lovely heritage B&B as well as a hugely indulgent five-star hotel.
Home to over a hundred UNESCO-listed ‘buildings of interest’, Úbeda is an enormously rewarding spot for a stroll. A compact city with winding streets studded with monuments, it’s well worth discovering with an expert guide or self-led walking tour. The Sacra Capilla del Salvador is fabulous, as are the palaces of Vazquez de Molina and Vela de los Cobo. The Casa Museo Art Andalusi is a wonderful private museum and flamenco venue, perfect for catching a live dance performance. Such is the town’s connection to traditional music and dancing that it plays host to an annual summer festival — this is undoubtedly the busiest time to visit!
Whenever you choose to time your holiday, don’t miss savouring regional specialities in lively tapas bars and restaurants, perusing antique shops or venturing out for long hikes and cycles through the olive groves. Lovely Baeza is a short drive — or a 10km hike — away. The best places to stay in Úbeda await!
