The most interesting building in the this beautiful and unknown village of Santisteban del Puerto is Santa Maria del Collado church, probably the southern romanic-visigotic church in the Iberian Peninsula. In the web "romanico aragonés" excelent pictures of it can be found.
It takes 10 minutes walking from the apartment this church. Very close to Santa María the remainings of an ancient castle can be found. The views from the top of the hill where it is located are superb. At the other side of the village, in front of the castle there is another hill called "La Guarida" (the shelter) with magnificent views as well. At the back of the village there is Cerro de San Marcos a plateau 1000 meters high that can be reached within one hour from the house.
At the entrance of the village, coming from Navas de San Juan, there are prints of dinosours on the rock; around them there is a center giving information about these beast that liven around there millions of years ago. Nearby there is a very nice restaurant.

Ubeda y Baeza are two renaissance cities 40 kms far from Santisteban, declared cultural heritage from humanity by UNESCO. There is plenty of information about them at the web.
Last but not least, Jaen, the capital of the county, has three treasures that right now start to be known: the ancient castle of Santa Catalina, wonderfully preserved where a Tourism Parador is located, the museum of Iberian Art, unique in the world that have been open recently by the kings of Spain, Felipe VI and Letizia, and amazing arabs baths.
Since the county of Jaen is not close to the coast, nor to the big cities like Madrid or Sevilla, it is not crowded with tourist yet, so travelling around it is a pleasure.
