Tour Details
Úbeda is rich in history and monuments, but it's also a city of eerie legends and ghostly tales. At the designated time, we'll meet at the Gate of Granada, linked to a hidden treasure. Explore the legend of the juancaballos, half-man, half-horse creatures, among other mysteries in Úbeda.
We'll first visit Plaza de San Lorenzo, home to the 16th-century Casa de las Torres (Palacio de los Dávalos), where a woman's body was found during renovations. The circumstances surrounding her death will be revealed. Next, we’ll head to the Casa de Luna y Sol, adorned with sun and moon coats of arms, and uncover which historical figure lived there.
In the heart of Úbeda's old town, you'll admire Vázquez de Molina Square, featuring the Basílica y Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de los Reales Alcázares de Úbeda, an Asset of Cultural Interest. Legends state an elf wanders within. You'll also see the Holy Chapel of the Savior, known for its beautiful facade.
Then, we will go to Plaza de San Pablo, where the Church of San Pablo is located. Here, we will discuss the festivity of La Pastora, no longer celebrated due to a violent event. Finally, we’ll explore the narrow streets of Úbeda, learning about the life of Hernán Crespo, a notable resident. The tour concludes at the Palacio de los Condes de Guadiana, where we will unveil a lingering mystery before saying our goodbyes after this 2-hour exploration.
