Immerse yourself in inner Jaén with your dog
Travelling around the Province of Jaén and discovering its interior is a truly natural and cultural experience. Travelling with your dog to these landscapes and historical places is double the fun.
The trip begins in style with nothing less than a city that is UNESCO World Heritage Site: Úbeda. To the west, you will see Canena, with its omnipresent olive groves: these surround the old colonies of El Altico (Guarromán), at the foot of Sierra Morena. The end of the route is in the heart of Sierra de Segura, sheltered by a landscape of incalculable environmental value.
Health tourism in Canena
Health tourism is not incompatible with the "hotel for dogs" concept. This is evident in Canena, less than 40 minutes from Despeñaperros Natural Park. Your pets are welcome at San Andrés Spa, which was a pioneering establishment in the 19th century as far as thermal holidays are concerned. You will be greeted with bright, white bathrobes and baths that will ensure your stress melts away, whether you visit alone or in the company of your partner. Aromatic candles, flowers and the option of benefiting from a spring surrounded by vegetation await. But there's more: in the land of liquid gold you can also enjoy activities related to olive oil, also known as oleotourism. Try it for yourself.
The colony of Guarromán
The rural accommodation Colonos Aldea El Altico, in Guarromán, pay tribute to the populations established in Sierra Morena in 1767, thanks to the efforts of Charles III, the Enlightened King. They offer charm, comfort and a setting where the peace and beauty of the olive grove envelope you when you awake. As well as being an accommodation establishment, this is a home where you can warm yourself up next to the fireplace and enjoy the good life, accompanied by your dog, as pets are permitted too. Horses riding excursions are an extremely enticing plan, especially for beginners who want to enjoy a different stay. The hosts will welcome you with an assortment of traditional sweets.
Camping in Sierra de Segura
Garrote Gordo is a pretty, welcoming campsite with an excellent location, given its expanses occupy the heart of the Sierra de Segura Mountains, on the banks of the Madera River. The natural setting is simply spectacular. Fans of mountain biking, fishing, hiking and, of course, animals, will never forget this rural getaway. Swim in the river with your best friend under the impressive trees and clear skies that become star-studded and bright at night Its restaurant prepares meal to suit vegetarian campers, as well as dishes native to the mountains, such as "ajoatao" and "ajopringue". You have to try them!
