Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HERITAGE

UNESCO streets and landmark interiors

This pack takes you inside the principal monuments that define both cities’ Renaissance streetscapes, with guided access to paid interiors that anchor the historical narrative.

THE TASTE

An olive‑oil finish in Baeza

At the end of the Baeza visit you’ll taste extra‑virgin olive oils, a sensory capstone to the architectural tour that connects local landscape and cuisine.

THE ACCESS

Paid interiors included

The package includes entrance to key paid interiors — notably the Cathedral of Baeza, the Capilla de El Salvador and the Palacio Vela de los Cobos in Úbeda — ensuring you see inside the monuments rather than only their façades.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The program is a pair of compact, expert‑guided excursions. Each city’s visit lasts about 2.5 hours, led by official heritage interpreters who guide you through principal monuments and interiors; the two tours are usually taken on separate dates unless you select both for the same day on the calendar.
