Baeza is in the province of Jaén, where some of the world’s finest olive oil is produced.
The city stands in a vast sea of olive groves, and its cobbled streets boast some of Europe’s best-conserved Renaissance buildings. Along with its sister city Úbeda, it forms part of a World Heritage site. An essential destination which evokes other times.
