Why visit Jaén?
Because Jaén, historically known as "the capital of the Holy Kingdom", is one of the most contrasting provinces in Spain. In addition to serving as the gateway to Andalusia, as it is located between the Sierra Morena and the Betic Mountains, it has an exceptional natural landscape. Jaén is also world famous for being the land of Olive Oil.
Its historical and artistic heritage is quite enviable. The Cathedral, the Basilica of San Ildefonso, the Arab Baths and the Jewish Quarter are well worth a visit. However, among all its monuments, the Castle of Jaén stands out, made up of the Castle of Santa Catalina, the Old Fortress and the Abrehuí.
Get to know the province of Jaén
Visit the capital of Jaén and then get lost among its villages. Also, remember that this province is home to the highest concentration of castles, battlements and fortresses in Europe.
Alcalá la Real
This town, located in the region of the Sierra Sur, is populated by just over 22,000 alcalaínos. Its main monument is the Fortress of La Mota. In its interior stands the Iglesia Mayor Abacial, the Alcazaba and the Muralla. The best way to get to Alcala la Real is to drive on the A-316 towards Alcaudete and connect here with the N-432.
Baeza
Drive along the A-316 or Autovía del Olivar for about 55 kilometers to enter this beautiful town on the Carretera de Úbeda. In Baeza, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003, Antonio Machado worked as a French grammar teacher for more than seven years. Special mention should be made of its spectacular Holy Week.
Baños de la Encina
2,672 inhabitants populate this charming village in the region of Sierra Morena. At the top of the hill and crowning this municipality stands the Burgalimar Castle, one of the oldest in Europe. To access this town with your rental van, take the E-902 (also called Autovía de Sierra Nevada - Costa Tropical) for about 39 minutes. Enter Baños de la Encina on the A-6100.
La Iruela
It is necessary to take four roads to travel from Jaén to La Iruela (A-316, N-322, A-315 and A-319). Although the road is long, just over 100 kilometers, it will be worthwhile to visit this small town located at the foothills of the Sierra de Cazorla. Impossible not to visit its castle of Almohad origin and the Church of Santo Domingo.

Sustainable transport in Jaén
This city has long been committed to improving public transport and increasing the use of bicycles. However, in the urban centers the car is still the preferred option to move around the streets of Jaén.
Using our rental van should not scare us in the least even though other transportation alternatives are being promoted. In any case, these measures help to alleviate some of the more or less dense traffic common in cities of some importance.
Jaen does not present particularly severe restrictions to circulate through its streets in minivan or van so our rental vehicles will be of great help to go from one side of the city to another.
