Embark on a stroll through the illustrious city of Jaen, and let the Essential Free Tour be your gateway to a realm where history is etched into every stone. Stand before the imposing Cathedral of the Assumption, a testament to the city's enduring faith and a beacon of Renaissance beauty that dominates the skyline. Jaen's claim to global fame is twofold: the magnificent cathedral and the sea of olive groves encircling the city, crowning it as the olive oil capital of the world. But there's more to this historic stronghold than olives and ecclesiastical splendor. The city's strategic role as a frontier fortress during the Reconquista has left an indelible mark on its character. Each monument you visit tells a story of battles won, of cultures clashing, and the peaceful coexistence that followed.

The fragrant Naranjos Square offers a serene respite, with whispers of poetry floating in the air, a nod to the artistic souls that have long found inspiration in this city. With each stop, history is unveiled—olive oil's golden legacy, battles of yore, and the legacies of nobles and commoners alike.
