Storytelling - The village is beautiful with a lot of charm to lose you through its streets, has several places of interest, but the castle is mandatory stop and the Tour Guide who tells you the traces that history has left on it, is great. A great Pro, you can tell he loves his job and the village that saw him grow up. We made a small excursion, we will return in spring to enjoy the other points of interest that the village has.

Great experience - We visited the Castle and the Hermitage, both professionals explained everything perfectly in detail and open to any doubt. Very attentive and friendly. We came away from both. A great experience and above all precious both monuments.

Unknown places to discover - We visited the castle of Baños de la Encina and the Hermitage of Jesus the Plain (although the plain is a heavy joke) with its baroque dressing room. We loved it, we discovered very interesting and unknown things about our geography. The local guides are fantastic and explain the history of their village with pride and good work. Recomendable 100%

Have a broad vision of everything we visit - The tour guide we had, whose name is Jose Fernando, was an exceptional guide, explaining in detail everything we saw. Thank you

Beautiful intact castle ruin - One of the most beautiful old castles in Andalusia. It will be a beautiful experience for both children and adults. Impressive how intact it all is.

Impressive castle and pretty town. - The visit was very interesting, enjoyable and entertaining with the explanations of the Encina guide. The town surprised us, very beautiful and well-kept. Highly recommended.

The most beautiful castle in Jaen - If you love castles, you must visit this one. The guide was charming, funny and explained everything in a very easy and understandable way.

Awesome - Despite the rain and wind, we loved the guided tour of the castle. Without a doubt we have to repeat when the weather is better to fully enjoy Baños de la Encina

Recommended visit if you are in the area or passing through - Well preserved fortress castle. You can walk around well, the only difficulty, for obvious reasons, is the Keep. I recommend the visit with a guide, it lasts between 30-45 meters, it is enjoyable and with useful information. You have to reserve. The parking lot upstairs is small.

Improper treatment of tour operator - We have just seen the castle of Baños de la Encina and it has been spectacular, worth a stop to see. Guide José Manuel explained the highlights and then made a free visit. The company that carries out the sightseeing tours is the one that unfortunately overshadowed our final impression since the person who has attended us at the tourist office with whom I could not contact by phone only by WhatsApp sent me a message with a link to make the reservation of the guided tour of the castle charging a price with management costs and without explaining in the message the possibility of being able to buy the cheapest ticket at the door of the castle and without expenses. When I went at the direction of the person selling the tickets to explain what happened the deal has been unpleasant from my point of view without giving me clear explanations of what happened just told me that he clearly stated on the website that he personally carries that there is discount in the online booking, the link he has sent me does not put it anywhere if on the website, and that he would not discuss it because he carried it. I told him I didn’t want to discuss it I just wanted him to give me back the difference between what I had paid and what other people paid at the castle ticket office and the management costs they charged me because they didn’t give me a choice in the message he sent to buy it there. He agreed to refund the difference without the management costs and when he told me that it did not seem fair because of the lack of information that I explained before he told me that he made a full refund of the visit without the management costs. I replied that I did not want to make a free visit only that it seems to me that since I could not speak on the phone in the message sent I should explain the other options of purchase of the reservation. And it is a shame his final comment "if I have returned the full amount I do not know what you are complaining about"...
