THE TRIP

An experience to remember

The Basilica and Royal Shrine of Our Lady of the Head was initially built between 1287 and 1304 on Cerro de la Cabeza, from which it takes the title of his invocation, located in the same place where he had had the appearance of the image in 1227. During its existence it underwent several transformations, the main one in the late sixteenth century by the architect Andrés de Valdelvira.

The pilgrimage to the Basilica, is the second oldest in our country, with about 800 years of history. Named by writers such as Cervantes and Lope de Vega, she lives her most exciting moments with the transfer of the image of the dressing room to the streets, where she will have spent the night waiting for the arrival of the anderos. All this, and much more, you can live with us. In addition, Úbeda and Baeza will be a perfect discovery of the province of Jaén.
