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 tour will take you through beautiful streets to reveal Jaen's treasures. Marvel at the intricate façade of the Cathedral of the Assumption, and wander to the Camarin de Jesus Sanctuary, a jewel of spiritual devotion. The Palace of Velez and the Palace of Vilches are monuments to the city's noble heritage, each a chapter in the story of Jaen's aristocratic lineage. 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.

But the allure of Jaen does not end with palaces and plazas. Step into the Palace of Condestable Iranzo and be transported to an era of Mudéjar elegance in the Salon Mudejar, where every tile and cornice tells a tale of the artisans who crafted them. Stand in the shadow of the Church of San Bartolome, an edifice that has withstood the test of time, a silent witness to the evolution of Jaen. With the Essential Free Tour, these highlights become more than just places to see; they are living histories. The city is calling you: its history, its legends, its beauty, everything is waiting to be discovered. Come see the best of Jaén with a small group of travelers and a local guide.
