It may be at the end of a road to nowhere but it's worth going there. Delightfully well preserved medieval town with beautiful plazas, town hall, imposing buildings (not just the Hanging Houses which it's most famous for) and a Gothic style (just the front bit) Cathedral which is huge as it was build on what originally was a Mosque. All of these are a must see but apart from the obvious history the town had become famous for Art. There are a number of art galleries and museums. The largest is the Fundacion Antionio Peraz, based in an old convent over 4 floors it's heaving with contemporary art works. I'll leave it up to you to decided which bits you'll like but guaranteed it will be a talking point. Also worth a visit is the most famous hanging house which is the Museo de Arte Abstracto. You really need a couple of days here to see everything.
