Jaén is a city of 113,000 people in Andalusia and the capital of the eponymous province. Jaén is called the world capital of olive oil, because the province produces 200,000 tons of oil annually. Around it, there are olive groves as far as the eye can see.
Ubeda

Compact and walkable, the small city of Úbeda can be found just off the main Andalusian tourist trail at the centre of Spain's Jaén province. As a refreshing change, Moorish heritage is not the main draw here; it's the fantastic collection of Italian-inspired Renaissance era palaces and churches.
Alcalá la Real

Alcalá la Real is a small city watched over by the Fortaleza de La Mota, a well documented castillo offering a peek into past centuries. The city is small enough to walk around for a day, making it an excellent day trip from major cities like Granada, Cordoba, or Jaen.
