Free Tour Baeza: "Land of Rebirth" (+ EVOO Tasting)
Hi everyone!!! My name is Josué and I am an Official Tour Guide from the old mining town of Linares (Jaén). I have a full tourism formation and experience achieved during the last 11 years, working as an entertainer and a tour guide. I truly love to share with people experiences as well as to show around different places, spots and landmarks that belong to my beautiful region where all my roots are. A few years ago I moved to the wonderful village of Baeza where I prepared a brand new adventure within the Tourism World and... what's better than showing around the different jewels that your whole region own? If you want to have a real fulfilling experience and find out something more about the history of our beautiful Renaissance cities and all the richness they both hold, please, you're welcome to come by anytime and I'll be more than pleased to show you around. I'll be waiting for you all, see u soon!!! Best regards Josué

Description
Hello everyone!!!
I am Josué and I welcome you to this charming city in the La Loma region, located in the heart of the province of Jaén .
On this fantastic tour you will have the opportunity to discover how Baeza , declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003, became one of the greatest references of the Spanish Renaissance of the 16th century thanks to the patronage of some of the most important noble families who settled in this city and who contributed to beautifying every corner with lavish buildings such as the Jabalquinto Palace , public infrastructures with clear Castilian reminiscences such as the Plaza del Pópulo or the Paseo de la Constitución that show us the great economic boom that the city achieved at this time, with the intervention of such important architects as the architect Andrés de Vandelvira , in charge of the Renaissance restoration of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Nativity, located in the heart of the historic center.
This tour will consist of the following stops:
- Aliatares Tower.
- Paseo de la Constitución (Constitution Fountain, Alhóndiga, Lower Town Hall and Triumph Fountain).
- Former University of Baeza (University and Arch of the Bearded Man).
- Plaza de la Santa Cruz (Church of the Santa Cruz and Jabalquinto Palace).
- Plaza de Sta. María (Cathedral, Upper Town Hall, Fountain of Sta. María and Seminary of San Felipe Neri).
- Alleys of the Cathedral (Door of Forgiveness).
- Plaza del Pópulo (Fountain of the Lions, Old Butcher Shops, Civil Court and Notaries, Villalar Arch and Jaén Gate).
And to top off the experience, at the end of our tour we will have the opportunity to delight ourselves by tasting an exquisite EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) at the establishment "Tierra de Renacimiento" where, in addition to enjoying its great flavor, we will be able to learn about its production process as well as the benefits that come with its regular consumption.
What more could you ask for?!?!
Don't hesitate any longer and come with me to discover Baeza, the Land and Cradle of the Spanish Renaissance.
