Marvelous - Baños is a small town in the province of Jaén. If you have time, it is worth spending a day to see how much tea it offers. As soon as you arrive, visit Burgalimar Castle, from the outside it is impressive, inside you will have to use your imagination to bring its ruins to life, but with everything It's magnificent. What fascinated us the most was the hermitage of Jesús del Llano. Be sure to see the Crypt and the apse of the church of Santa María.....it cannot be explained in words, you have to be there, you will be amazed
