What to do and see in Ubeda, Andalucia: The Best Free Things to do
Úbeda (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuβeða]; from Arabic Ubbada al-`Arab and this from Iberian Ibiut) is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia, with some 36,025 inhabitants. Both this city and the neighbouring city of Baeza benefited from extensive patronage in the early 16th century resulting in the construction of a series of Renaissance style palaces and churches, which have been preserved ever since. In 2003, UNESCO declared the historic cores and monuments of these two towns a World Heritage Site.

This plaza is the historic centre of Ubeda and is surrounded by a most impressive range of classical renaissance churches and palaces. A UNESCO World heritage site, it is the sparkling jewel in the crown of Ubeda. Much of what you see is the result of the work of the mason architect, Vandelvira. An exhibition of his work can be found in the basement of the Palacio de las Cadenas (Correct June 2018).

Very old church and certainly worth visiting. I think it was a donation of 2 Euros for entry. Very simple inside but many (unsure of the words) of the catholic representations that are carried around the town on feast days. Note - you enter from a rear door.

The transition from palace to parador has been excellent. We had the pleasure of staying here for two nights. Each time we walked through the hallways we saw something new and interesting. Seating in the parador was a bit modern for its origins but did not detract from the architectural details.

The pottery of is both a museum and an active craft pottery that creates the highest quality items. Craftspeople are working as you visit. The displays of finished items and information panels, and the access to the working areas makes for a fascinating visit.

There is also the Hospital de Santiago where many local cultural events take place (Lace making and a dancing schools competition when we were there). The pottery area in the Calle de Valencia is also worth a visit.
