Uvas Bailen - Bailén

Visitors can discover the sixty-year-old vineyard and learn about its history, the entire growing and harvesting process and how grapes are prepared for sale. Visitors in September can taste the freshly picked grapes, and collect their own boxes of grapes to take home. Uvas Bailén was established in September 2019 due to the closure of the Santa Gertrudis winery. Faced with the challenge of what to do with the grapes and to avoid having to dig up the vineyard, they decided to sell dessert grapes and use the remaining grapes for wine-making.

The church was inaugurated on November 16, 1504, by the Bishop of Jáen, Don Alonso Suárez de la Fuente del Sauce, an event attended by the Counts of Bailén; Don Rodrigo Ponce de León and Doña Blanca Sandoval.

This nineteenth-century house is located on the former Camino de Jaén, one of the main gateways to the city, specifically the Madrid-Cádiz route, which once connected with the old Bailén Castle.

This park, of extraordinary botanical richness, is popularly known as “El Vivero” and was constructed between 1893 and 1895, at which time Don Eduardo Carvajal was Mayor of Bailén, from whom the park inherited its name.

In 1808, Fray Manuel de Jaén, a Capuchin priest, saw the Spanish troops marching alongside him until they reached the site where they would defend themselves from French offensives.

This chapel’s history is marked by the two styles distinctly presented in its architecture; the Gothic is reflected in the rectangular nave, divided in four by three pointed arches, all settled since the end of the fourteenth century.

The chapel dates to the eighteenth century, and was originally named Ermita del Santo Cristo de Nazaret.

This eighteenth-century chapel once served as a local school, and was subsequently donated by the Bailén families of Corchado and Barreda to the Santa Vera Cruz Brotherhood.

This site was once surrounded by orchards, since it is an abundant natural water source. In bygone times, local men would collect water in jugs from a stone fountain.

The Pablo de Olavide Interpretation Centre is a space for hosting cultural activities, as well as a Museum and the local Tourist Office. It was inaugurated on October 31, 2017.

The colonial-style church dates from the second half of the eighteenth century and has a rectangular floor plan and a single nave covered with a half-barrel vault with lunettes.

This collection of prehistoric schematic and Levantine-style paintings is scattered over crags and rock shelters.

The Priest house is currently undergoing restoration after an extensive period of neglect.

The House of the Commander fulfilled the function of Town Hall for many years and even that of a corral

This eighteenth-century building is typical of the colonies and foundations of Carlos III, built in brick, rectangular in shape, with two floors and a gabled roof where it has a discreet attic brick structure that houses the clock.

The Regional Network of Oil Mills of Sierra Sur is made up of nine Interpretation Centres located in oil factories in this region of Jaén. Each centre focuses on a different element of the production of olive oil, including olive growing methods, oil production processes and classification systems, analysis of the olive oil market and the history of the trees themselves. The one in Valdepeñas de Jaén is dedicated to the history of the olive tree and olive oil. Tel: 953 31 00 70.

 This is the highest point of the Starlight Reserve of the Sierra Sur de Jaén and an emblematic place for observing the night sky.

The church was designed by architect and sculptor Juan de Reolid in 1539, but it was not completed and expanded until the end of the sixteenth century.

The hydraulic flour mill, with two grinding stones, was operational from 1540. It is currently dedicated for use as a museum

The chapel originates from the seventeenth century, and was dedicated to San Sebastián, who is traditionally associated with combatting epidemics.
