We're in Úbeda, in the Jaén Provincia (province).
It is a Comunidad autónoma (autonomous community) of Andalusia in southern Spain.
Úbeda is about 10 km northeast of the city of Jaén.

The Arabs occupied the city in 711 CE.
Ferdinand III of Castile reconquered it in 1234.
Ubeda is renowned for its architecture, particularly of the Renaissance period.
Most of Ubeda is a national monument, and UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site in 2003.
The church of Santa María de Los Reales Alcázares de Úbeda sits on a sacred place, built atop the remains of a mosque. The oldest parts of the church were built around 1259.
Enjoy the food of Ubeda.
In a well-watered olive-growing region, Úbeda produces olive oil and olive-pressing equipment.
This is the library of El Palacio Vela de los Cobos. This stately manor was designed in 1551. Our tour guide was the son of the owner of the palace. He's lived for decades in Houston, TX, but now that his dad is in his 90s, he plans to return to take care of the house.
The Holy Funerary Chapel of El Salvador del Mundo is a symbol of Úbeda, Jaén. It was designated a historic-artistic monument in 1931.
I've made over a dozen videos about Spain, including where I hiked across Spain twice, once on El Camino de Santiago and the 2nd time across the Pyrenees.
