Vandervila's most accomplished work
This building is a testament to architect Vandelvira's significant influence on the town of Úbeda. It is considered the 'Andalusian Escorial' and is likely Vandelvira's most accomplished work. Its simple exterior contrasts sharply with its astonishing interior. The church is particularly worth a visit.

The city of "The Olive Tree" in Sanmao's works.
There are two "World Heritage Cities" in the Andalusia region of Spain. They are less than 10 kilometers apart and both have more than 50 ancient buildings. They are known as the "World Heritage Twin Cities". This is Úbeda (Figures 1-3) and Baeza (Figures 4-6) in Jaén Province. Although these two cities are close, they are different. Some people commented: "Úbeda is quiet, and Baeza is delicate." Úbeda has a long history. The Sacra Capilla del Salvador in the city is a representative work of Spanish Renaissance architecture; Baeza has a magnificent city hall and the Fuente de los Leones. 🌳It is worth mentioning that the capital of Jaén Province is the hometown of Sanmao's husband, José. "The Olive Tree" depicts Jaén Province. Include these two treasure towns in your next Spanish travel list!
What people are saying about Ubeda
Alhambra
Beautiful place, rich with history and an abundance of instagrammable shots for the social media moguls. I would advise booking tickets in advance as they sell out and make sure you include the Nasrid palace to it and immerse yourself in the history of these wonderful moorish buildings.
Jordanst92Baeza Cathedral
One of the most beautiful tourist attractions. The scenery is stunning and breathtaking, perfect for a family trip!
MEOZQRoyal Palace of Madrid
Actually, I missed the meeting point because I didn't pay attention to the ticket instructions; the meeting point wasn't at the palace entrance. I had to buy a separate ticket to get in, but it was definitely worth it. The palace is incredibly luxurious and magnificent, with stunning interiors. It was a truly worthwhile trip.
201***83Royal Alcázar of Seville
It’s very historic attraction, and we really enjoyed seeing the luxury tiles artwork. The gardens are beautiful. Have got a lot of home decor ideas, the souvenir shops is great too.
_TI***zlPrado Museum
The good thing about the Prado is that photography isn't allowed, so I can't upload photos of the exhibition halls, but I can upload a picture of the entrance. The classic Las Meninas is still very impressive, and there were many people looking at it. There are also many famous works by Goya, Velázquez, Bosch, and many others. Last time, I visited three floors and countless halls, but I couldn't see everything. It was a visual feast, and I can only marvel at how talented the older generation of European painters were! The paintings are so beautiful!
