Úbeda is a delight to wander, with its maze of streets packed with over a hundred UNESCO-listed treasures. You’ll stumble across grand palaces, elegant chapels like the Sacra Capilla del Salvador, and tucked-away gems such as the Casa Museo Art Andalusí, where you might even catch a live flamenco performance. The town’s love affair with music and dance comes alive each summer during its lively festival, when Úbeda is at its most vibrant. No matter when you visit, there’s plenty to enjoy: sampling local tapas in buzzing bars, browsing antique shops, or heading into the olive-dotted countryside for walks and bike rides. And if you fancy extending your explorations, charming Baeza lies just a short drive — or scenic hike — away.
