Discovering the Charm of Úbeda and Baeza

Our journey to the enchanting World Heritage cities of Úbeda and Baeza was nothing short of magical. As a family travel writer, I am always on the lookout for experiences that are both educational and engaging for my children. This tour promised to be just that, and it did not disappoint.

We began our adventure in Úbeda, a city that seemed to have leaped straight out of a history book. The Holy Chapel of the Saviour was our first stop, and its grandeur left us all in awe. The kids were fascinated by the intricate details of the architecture, and our guide, Nazaret, was exceptional in bringing the history to life with stories and anecdotes that even my youngest could understand and enjoy.

The Palacio de Vela de los Cobos was another highlight. As we wandered through its rooms, I could see my children’s imaginations running wild, picturing themselves as little princes and princesses in a grand palace. The French room and the exceptional library were particularly captivating, and Nazaret’s storytelling made the experience even more memorable.

A Stroll Through Time in Baeza

After a delightful morning in Úbeda, we made our way to Baeza in the afternoon. The transition from one city to the other was seamless, thanks to the excellent coordination by Begoña Garay and her team. Marta, our guide in Baeza, was equally impressive, and her passion for the city’s history was infectious.

We started at the Cathedral de Baeza, the oldest cathedral in Andalusia. The kids were amazed by its size and the stories of its past. Marta’s engaging narrative kept them interested, and I appreciated how she tailored her explanations to suit their curious minds.

The Palacio de Jabalquinto was another stop that captured our hearts. Its stunning architecture and rich history were beautifully explained by Marta, who had a knack for making history feel alive and relevant. The kids loved exploring the Aula de Antonio Machado, where they learned about the famous poet and his connection to the city.

A Family-Friendly Adventure

Our day exploring Úbeda and Baeza was a perfect blend of education and fun. The guides, Nazaret and Marta, were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and patient with my children. They made sure that the tours were engaging for all ages, which is something I always look for in family travel experiences.

The seamless organization by Begoña Garay and her team made the day stress-free and enjoyable. From transportation to the coordination of the tours, everything was handled with professionalism and care. It’s not always easy to find tours that cater to families, but this one exceeded all our expectations.

For families looking to explore the rich history and culture of Spain, I highly recommend the World Heritage Cities Tour. It’s an experience that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of Úbeda and Baeza.
