Tour Overview
Embarking on our journey through the historic core of Úbeda, we will delve into the city's profound historical and cultural significance, celebrated for its UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Established more than two thousand years ago and shaped by various civilizations that have settled on the Iberian Peninsula, Úbeda flourished during the Renaissance. We will wander through the medieval alleys of the historic area, uncovering the city's story while marveling at the splendid architecture that remains intact.
