a a PLAZA VÁZQUEZ DE MOLINA

In this square you should climb up to the San Lorenzo Lookout Point where you'll have extraordinary views of the olive groves and the Sierra Mágina mountains. The city is full of architectural wonders where Moorish, Gothic and Baroque elements blend in perfect harmony. You'll find remains of the Moorish leg- acy in the Granada Gateway and in the city walls surrounding the historical old town. The mysterious Synagoga del Agua or Synagogue of the Water, hid- den away for centuries, will take your

breath away. To appreciate the blend of cultures which have left their mark on the city, you should visit the extraordi- nary Archaeological Museum , located in a 14th century Mudejar building. Úbeda has a very busy cultural agen- da. Examples of this are the Theatre Forum which is held from September to December and the City of Úbeda International Music and Dance Festival which takes place in May and June.
