If you don't come here, you will never understand "Olive Tree"

Jaén in Andalucía is the hometown of Sanmao and Jose, which has 20% (more than 60 million) of the world's olive trees. It was because of seeing these olive trees all over the mountains that Sanmao wrote "Olive Trees" to express her feelings of wandering far away. The Renaissance buildings in Úbeda and Baeza were named World Heritage Cities in 2003. The two cities are only 10 kilometers apart and have been developing slowly together for hundreds of years. Their different styles complement each other, and they are inseparable. As time goes by, their connection becomes stronger, especially during the Renaissance period. Therefore, the people of Úbeda and Baeza call these two small towns the "Twin Cities". We spent one day touring the two cities and saw the famous and familiar statue of the Virgin Mary, whose exquisiteness was breathtaking! The churches and buildings here are well preserved. Each place has its own story. You can also see various artistic clay works and small shops selling them. It is very suitable for buying some souvenirs. 🍴Restaurant Taberna El Pájaro The small restaurants here all have a retro feel in their decoration! It's really possible to immerse yourself in the historical atmosphere of the Twin Cities!
