I offer you a real journey through time to find us in the middle of the 16th century and discover the city of Ubeda, classified as a World Heritage Site for its Renaissance district. The circuit of course includes the most important monuments of the city but it also includes places less frequented by tourists. As the group is small, I like to interact with the visitors, ask them questions and get them to participate. In addition, the circuit can be modified according to the tastes and desires of the participants. For example, I can insist more on a monument, a style or a period of history. I can also modify the circuit and show other parts of the city such as the San Lorenzo district or the Santiago hospital. Finally, at the end of the course, I offer you an optional olive oil tasting, a real immersion in the region's flagship product. This moment of exchange is very instructive and much appreciated by visitors.
I will give you a short presentation of the city of Ubeda and its history.
It constitutes a unique ensemble, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2003.

which the best artists of the time worked. We will also visit the sacristy, another masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance.

of the most beautiful Renaissance palaces.
e old center to discover the very essence of the city, marked by its Muslim past. We will thus discover charming little squares away from the traditional tour circuits.
We will discover one of the towers of the wall at the foot of which kings and emperors swore to preserve the privileges of the city. As an option, we will meet Salvador who, in his shop, will introduce us to the world of olive oil. He will offer us a tasting of several oils to learn more about the green gold of the region. Visitors will be able to ask all the questions they want concerning the cultivation of olive trees and the production of olive oil. Salvador is a great connoisseur in this field, his shop has received numerous distinctions and is a reference in Ubeda. Salvador speaks French but I help him if necessary, being myself a guide in an olive oil factory in the region.
The meeting point is the belvedere which adjoins Santa Lucia square. For those arriving by car, there is free parking in Calle Redonda de Miradores. Once parked, the meeting point is right next to it, just go up a little to the top of the car park.
