This itinerary focusses on the Renaissance architecture of Granada and Jaén provinces. You’ll see masterpieces of the great architects Diego de Siloé and Andrés de Vandelvira, including the cathedrals in Granada and Baeza, and the Sacra Capilla del Salvador, a spectacular funerary chapel in Úbeda.
The Guadalquivir has played a pivotal role in Andalcuía’s history and development. This itinerary takes you the whole length of the river, from its source in the Sierras de Cazorla to its mouth at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Together with neighbouring Úbeda, Baeza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its wonderfully preserved Renaissance and medieval architecture. Baeza can be visited as a day trip from Granada or Córdoba, although if you’re coming from Córdoba it’s much easier if you have a car.
