Jaén: Life-giving nature

Jaén, inland paradise

An inland paradise waiting to be discovered, with olive groves as far as the eye can see, the source of the exquisite oil that gives flavour and personality to its rich cuisine. A wealth of protected natural spaces and Renaissance towns declared World Heritage Sites are found in this province.

Cazorla, the perfect setting for nature lovers

If you're a true nature lover, this destination cannot be left out from your travel plans: you'll enjoy hiking along breathtaking trails and paths, beside transparent rivers and streams, and through never-ending forests that are the natural habitat of wild animals. Jaén is the Andalusian province with the greatest extension of protected areas, thanks mainly to the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, with its almost 210,000 hectares. This Natural Park is the largest protected area in Spain and the second in Europe, and, of course, one of the most popular in the whole of Andalusia.

A natural environment for all tastes and ages, where you can find peace-and-quiet if that's what you fancy, or a whole host of activity-based and cultural tourism activities, hiking routes, horseback riding, off-road driving, and - for the more adventurous - activities such as canyoning, caving or ziplining.

A setting that won't cease to amaze you with its wonderful waterfalls, rivers and gorges surrounded by lush forests, as well as numerous villages with castles and whitewashed streets, and even remote mountain hamlets. This is all complemented by the spectacular local cuisine, yet another reason to experience this destination.

You can start preparing your trip to Andalusia right now. We've got all the information you need to make your trip perfect.

WHEN TO GO

Andalusia enjoys mild temperatures throughout the year due to its pleasant Mediterranean climate. This region dotted with stunning beaches and unique landscapes boasts a microclimate verging on the tropical, with very mild winters and hot yet very pleasant summers.

If you want to discover Andalusia at the best price, head there in low season. Prices tend to go up on specific dates such as Christmas, Easter, Spanish public holidays and the summer months.

Autumn and winter are the best times of the year to discover the quieter and more authentic side of Andalusia, as well as its excellent cuisine. In spring, you can soak up natural beauty at its prime that will astound you with its contrasts. These seasons are perfect for hiking, cycling, mountaineering, climbing, horse riding, golf, and many other activities.

You can even go cross-country skiing and enjoy the snowy winter of the Andalusian countryside! Awaiting you in the long and hot summer are 249 beaches of all types and colours, unique entertainment options, an amazing holiday environment, water sports, diving, and much more.

Once the booking is confirmed you will receive a confirmation e-mail. The voucher for the hotel will be also sent by email plus the vouchers for any other services (car hire, transfer, travel insurance) if booked.
