Spain, nestled in Southwestern Europe, is a vibrant country known for its rich history, diverse culture, and enthralling natural beauty. Its landscapes range from the sun-baked Mediterranean beaches to the snow-capped Pyrenees Mountains. Famous for its iconic landmarks like the Alhambra in Granada, Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, and the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain is also the birthplace of Flamenco dancing and boasts of traditional bullfighting events. Renowned for its delectable cuisine, it is the homeland of tapas, paella, and an array of world-class wines. The country's allure is further intensified by warm locals, lively fiestas, and the passionate rhythms of Spanish guitar.

Nestled in the heart of Andalusia, Jaén is a vibrant city known for its rich historical heritage and mesmerizing landscapes. Often referred to as the "World Capital of Olive Oil," Jaén is surrounded by sprawling olive groves that stretch as far as the eye can see, producing some of the finest olive oils globally. The city is crowned by the imposing Santa Catalina Castle, offering panoramic views of the enchanting Sierra de Jabalcuz and the olive-laden countryside. Visitors can explore the magnificent Jaén Cathedral, a stunning example of Renaissance architecture, and meander through the old town's narrow streets, discovering hidden plazas and Gothic-style churches at every turn. With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Jaén offers a unique Andalusian experience that captivates every traveler’s heart.

I did my Erasmus in Jaén and I reall liked the experience. Even though it's not the typical tourist destination it has some nice places, and beautiful nature. I recommend the „cañones del río frío“ to go swimming. It has a castle where you can watch the sunset nicely and a cathedral. There are some Unesco world heritage towns there (Úbeda and Baéza) which are also worth a visit. 
I always felt safe, even at night. Public transport is a bit mid but it was all right.
