Valdepeñas de Jaén

Highlight • Settlement

Valdepeñas de Jaén is a charming town, nestled between the impressive mountain ranges of the Sierra de la Pandera to the north and the Sierra de Alta Coloma to the southeast. The town was founded in 1539 and has a typical Renaissance townscape, characterized by a checkerboard pattern. In 1558, it received the status of an independent town. Valdepeñas de Jaén offers numerous sights, such as the Ermita de Chircales, a small chapel that reflects the region's spiritual history with religious paintings and the cave of a hermit. Another highlight is the Molino de Harina, a still-functioning water mill that offers a fascinating insight into traditional flour production.

Nature lovers can discover the Chorreras del Río Vadillo, a series of natural waterfalls formed by the Vadillo River and surrounded by paths offering beautiful views. The region is also a paradise for outdoor activities such as cycling. The lush forests and picturesque landscape offer ideal conditions for cyclists who want to explore the beautiful Sierra Sur. A culinary experience is offered by the restaurant El Quejigo del Carbón, located on a hill, which is known not only for its excellent cuisine but also for the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. Valdepeñas de Jaén is thus the perfect place to combine history, nature, culture, and sporting activities.

Alcalá la Real

Highlight • Settlement

Alcalá la Real is a spectacular town in Jaen that is located on a strategic natural communication route between the Guadalquivir valley and the Granada plain. This location has given it great importance over the centuries. On the hill of La Mota stands a fortress of the same name that is a collection of civilizations, especially from the Muslim period, although the Romans previously settled here, and later Gothic and Renaissance style buildings were added.
