The capital of the Saint kingdom, Jaen is the beatuful little sister of Granada, Sevilla or Cordoba, but sometimes the hidden pearls also deserve some time to visit and discover. Jaen is making big efforts to work with rural tourism and recieve all those tourist who avoid the sun, sand, sea.
Favourite spots:
The sea of olive trees, the magnificent Cathedral and Castle and many interesting towns around the city
What's really great:
The heart of the city beats with a low rithm. It's a good place to walk and see. The view from the Castle is absolutely amazing.
Sights:
Cathedral-Santa Catalina Castle
Accommodations:
There are not many hotels or hostels there. The best option is the Parador, in the Castle. Young hostel in town
Nightlife:
plenty of them, but only weekends
Hangouts:
plenty of them, whenever, wherever. The local University provides good customers.
Restaurants:
La Casa del vino, high prices and good traditional food. Burgers in el Gran eje. Tapas (something to eat served free with your drink)
Other recommendations:
Ubeda and Baeza (40 kms from Jaen), jewels of XVI c.
