2026 Jaen Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

Fortress of La Mota The remains of the old Al-Andalus town and post-Reconquista buildings stand on the hilltop of the Alcalá Castle. A veritable Andalusian town once sat on this strategic hill, with a major mosque, castle, residential areas, and markets. After several archaeological campaigns, the remains were discovered. Some of the surviving remains include the Abbey Church of Santa Maria Mayor, a Gothic-Renaissance church (16th-17th centuries), which, like the rest of the site, was abandoned in the 18th century when the inhabitants moved to the plains. The castle is a solid walled building with a triangular plan. It was rebuilt in the 16th century and has towers at the four corners, among which the 20-meter-high castle is particularly eye-catching. The walls still retain their long walls, towers (prison tower) and gates (Imagen Gate), making it one of the longest walls in Andalusia. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia

Andalucia Tour Extra: Cycling Tour from Cordoba to Jaén A winding path leads you to the impressive Castelo de Peña (also known as the High Castle), the ruins of an old castle in the municipality of Martos, Jaén, Spain, a place where you can immerse yourself in history. Imagine what it was like in the past and enjoy the beautiful expansive views of the city of Martos and some of the surrounding towns. #11月好去2024 #SpainTravel #Andalucia #Fort #MilitaryRelics #Hiking #HistoricalRelics

#summerfest July ‘23 Everything beautiful in life starts as simple a idea. And just as most simple acts, taking the train from Jerez de la Frontera, a poor little town in the impoverished south of Spain to the nearby beach of Valdelagrana; a popular spot for tourists and locals alike seemed innocent enough at first. What will follow in YOUR next seemingly unimportant decision is for you to discover. But when life gives you a train ticket, you better make it a Spanish fiesta!

This time, I will introduce the Feria that took place in Jaen, Andalusia. A Feria is a kind of traveling amusement park. It has a variety of attractions, from roller coasters to haunted houses! This traveling amusement park travels around Spain in sequence, with Jaen being the final stop🎡🎢🎠 Entry is free, but the prices of attractions and food are set quite high. The Spanish way is to eat and drink at a bar before going to the venue✨ There is also something like a simple club inside the venue, and many people are enjoying drinks while dancing. It seemed to be especially lively in the middle of the night. As expected of Spain🇪🇸
