The town of Ubeda has some of the best Renaissance architecture in Europe. The hotel is a small 16th century palace with a beautiful patio in an elegant square next to the main square of the old town. All the sights are within walking distance and the bus station is only twenty minutes' walk away. I enjoyed exploring the magnificent Chapel of The Saviour, a spectacular masterpiece of 16th century Renaissance architecture, the Synagogue of the Water, a recently uncovered and restored 13th century synagogue, and the Museum of St John of the Cross, where the Spanish mystic died. I would recommend both Ubeda and the hotel Maria de Molina for a cultural break with splendid architecture and excellent restaurants in abundant supply
