Jaén

Dama Juana, which opened in March 2019, is named after the grandmother of chef-owner Juan Aceituno. Sadly she died just two weeks after the restaurant in Jaen’s barrio San Ildefonso opened.

The Museo Ibero (Iberian Museum) is located in Jaen city and is dedicated to the prehistoric Iberian culture of Spain. Intended to raise city's profile, on a regional, national and international level, it is the only museum celebrating this pre-Roman civilisation, and has the largest collection of Iberian art in the world.

Tiny Michelin star restaurant (as of the 2019 Guide) which seats just 15 diners, run with great care, effort and attention to detail by head chef Pedro Sánchez Jaén (known as Pedrito to avoid confusion with his political namesake).

Jaen has a good selection of restaurants, the vast majority of which serve traditional Spanish and Mediterranean food. Fish and seafood are a popular choice in Jaen, trout being the star player, so expect to find prawn and shellfish dishes, as well as meat.

This three-star hotel is located in the city centre of Jaén and features a roof terrace with views over the cathedral. You can’t miss it, as the name is written in huge letters across the façade.

A large modern hotel located on the corner of the main shopping street, close to the Jaen Museum. This hotel has 158 spacious guest rooms, some in classic, elegant style, others with a simple, modern feel.

This modern hotel is located in a new area of Jaen, five minutes from the El Corte Ingles department store. Its impressive marble atrium with stunning stained glass window has two glass lifts to transport guests to each floor in memorable style.
