THE HISTORY

Twin UNESCO treasures

Úbeda and Baeza are both recognised by UNESCO for their historic and patrimonial value, making the itinerary a concentrated history lesson in two adjacent Andalusian cities.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Renaissance Úbeda

The guided portion in Úbeda focuses on its high-value Renaissance architecture, with a route that highlights the city’s notable buildings and urban fabric.

THE ROUTE

Independent Baeza

After the guided tour in Úbeda, the schedule gives you free time in Baeza to explore its cobbled, walled streets at your own pace.

What the day feels like

How the day feels

The day moves deliberately: a guided walk through the concentrated Renaissance ensemble of Úbeda followed by a transfer to Baeza where the structure of the tour loosens and you are given time to drift through medieval alleys and plazas on your own, all wrapped into a seven-hour program.
