🇪🇸 Spain | Jaén: Where Crosses Touch the Sky ✝️

Road Trip Stop #2: Madrid → Granada 🛣️ The Detour Worth Taking Jaén: A sleepy "olive oil capital" dotted with 60 million trees (rows so perfect, they hypnotize) 🌳 Why stop? For whitewashed alleys quieter than Barcelona’s chaos—this is the real Spain. 🏰 Santa Catalina Castle Medieval drama: Perched on a cliff with a giant white cross (climb 5 mins for 360° views) Free parking (rare in Europe!) ⛪ Jaén Cathedral Renaissance heavyweight: Gold ceilings + "Did that angel just wink?" art ⚠️ Survival Tips Drive carefully: Hairpin turns + "Is this even a road?" moments 🚗💨 Castle hours: Check ahead—we found locked gates 😅 Lunch like locals: 2-3PM tapas rush at Calle Bernabé Soriano 🍽️ Restaurant Rec Casa El Loco (P11-13) Order: Garlic shrimp + grilled octopus (served with Jaén’s liquid gold—olive oil, of course) #NoFilterSpain #RoadTripMagic
