Travel Tips for Jaén

Cathedral at Jaen

by elucas

As you can see the Cathedral on Plaza Santa Maria totally dominates the old part of the city. The cathedral was begun in 1548 by the famous architect Andres de Vandelvira, whose work can be seen in Ubeda and Baeza.

The baroque facade is from a later date, it was begun in 1667 and is the work of Eufrasio Lopez de Rojas and the statuary is by Pedro Roldan. The picture which shows the facade only was taken from the car - not by Andrew I hasten to add, he was driving.

We did not have time to go into the cathedral, but it is apparently very magnificent, so one day we hope to return and explore this and the rest of the town.

Cathedral opening times - winter 8.30-1.00 and 4.00-9.00. Summer 8.30-1.00 and 5.00-8.00pm

Tourist office - C/Maestra 13 - a small street near the cathedral.

Andaluces de Jaén

by manuelEB

"By Miguel Hernández"

Andaluces de Jaén,
aceituneros altivos,
decidme en el alma: ¿quién,
quién levantó los olivos?

No lo levantó la nada,
ni el dinero, ni el señor,
sino la tierra callada,
el trabajo y el sudor.

Unidos al agua pura
y a los planetas unidos,
los tres dieron la hermosura
de los troncos retorcidos.

Levántate, olivo cano,
dijeron al pie del viento.
Y el olivo alzó una mano
poderosa de cimiento.

Andaluces de Jaén,
aceituneros altivos,
decidme en el alma: ¿quién
amamantó los olivos?

Vuestra sangre, vuestra vida,
no la del explotador
que se enriqueció en la herida
generosa del sudor.

No la del terrateniente
que os sepultó en la pobreza,
que os pisoteó la frente,
que os redujo la cabeza.

Arboles que vuestro afán
consagró al centro del día
eran principio de un pan
que sólo el otro comía.

¡Cuántos siglos de aceituna,
los pies y las manos presos,
sol a sol y luna a luna,
pesan sobre vuestros huesos!

Andaluces de Jaén,
aceituneros altivos,
decidme en el alma: ¿ de quién,
de quíen son estos olivos?

Jaén, levántate brava
sobre tus piedras lunares,
no vayas a ser esclava
con todos tus olivares.

Dentro de la claridad
del aceite y sus aromas,
indican tu libertad
la libertad de tus lomas
