The Parador occupies the facilities of the Castle of Santa Catalina, also called Alcázar Nuevo. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age and since then Iberians, Muslims and Christians have formed the history of the place. In this experiential getaway, you will get to know the historical and cultural heritage of Jaén, such as its Renaissance Cathedral or its Arab baths. You will cycle along a stretch of the Via Verde del Aceite, an old railway line where the oil train transported liquid gold. Our local hosts are waiting for you in Jaén to share with you the history of the city, enjoy the natural environment and talk about the varieties of olive oil.
