East of Córdoba, north of Granada and west of Almería,
Úbeda and Baeza have jointly been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
This is mainly thanks to the incredible depth and range of Renaissance
architecture and monuments in their old towns. Úbeda is the bigger of the two,
with its sights more spread out, while Baeza boasts a highly compact old town
that scarcely seems to have been touched by modern hand.
