Monday 10th October

Today's plan was to visit two towns which have been World Heritage Sites since 2003: Úbeda and Baeza.
At 8:30 a.m. the English group, with their teachers Sarah and Sandra, and the Spanish one, accompanied by the teacher Trini López and the speaking assistant Courtney Bibbo, set off the journey to both towns.
The first town which was visited was Úbeda.
The first building they visited was The Palacio de las Cadenas, one of the best example of Renaissance architecture in Spain.

Then they visited Sta María Church.




Later another church called Iglesia del Salvador.



After these three visits, it was time to eat something. A beautiful square called Plaza del 1º de Mayo was the suitable place.




After this time to rest, they left Úbeda for Baeza. They arrived there at about 12. The first visit was Puerta de Jaén and el Arco de Villalar.



Next, they walk to the University where they could visit the classroom where the famous poet Antonio Machado had taught his pupils.




After that, the visit was to the Palacio de Jabalquinto.



From here, they went to the Cathedral, where a beautiful valuable monstrance can be seen.




To complete the visit of Baeza, they walked along the City Walls through narrow streets.



It was time to come back to Jaén and go home to have lunch.
