A combination of music, magic, comedy and literature define this festival, which remains a celebration of Spanish singer-songwriter music, where the spoken word is usually the true star.

This festival is considered one of the most important events of its kind in Europe, being the only one on the continent held in festival format. Black music has found its great meeting point in Pozo Alcón, right in the heart of the Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park.

The Ethnic Gatherings in the Sierra del Sur (Etnosur) were created with the aim of bringing together and blending distant cultures with nearby ones through music. It features a huge range of activities: workshops, circus performances, forums, film screenings and literary gatherings all shape a free, multidisciplinary festival.

Considered the Best International Blues Festival by the Blues Foundation of Memphis, Blues Cazorla is an international benchmark for fans and musicians of this genre and an unmissable event held in one of the most picturesque towns of the Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park: Cazorla.

Carol singing in the streets, Christmas markets, theatre and film screenings for children, or even funfairs, are among the activities that have become Christmas traditions, adding a leisure option alongside other long-standing distinctive customs. Among these, one of the most iconic is represented by the 'Campanilleros' of Vilches, who have preserved carols from an age-old oral tradition, with both religious and secular lyrics, revived on successive night-time walks from the feast of the Immaculate Conception until Epiphany.

The aim of this culinary festival is to preserve, promote and spread the gastronomic traditions of the Sierra Sur de Jaén region, as well as to promote the region's agri-food products.

This is the quintessential gastronomic event of the city of Úbeda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This gastronomic festival is joined by the Olive Grove and Oil Interpretation Centre, offering free tastings of the province's finest EVOO.

The Olive Grove and Oil Interpretation Centre is a modern, interactive space for education and outreach, where visitors can learn, through audiovisual displays, about olive oil production, olive varieties, gastronomy, uses of the oil and its health benefits...

Directed by Úbeda-born producer and musician Paco Ortega, this festival is a window onto artists who move between the most classic flamenco and the newest, emerging approaches. An event that proves flamenco, like Úbeda itself, is also a form of World Heritage.

One of the most special and distinctive festivals on the national and international scene. Its main appeal lies in the quality of its programme, featuring major artists, great orchestras, and world-class soloists or chamber ensembles.

A unique event centred on European production in the ninth art, an artistic genre that currently has no dedicated space of its own on the national scene, but has been sharing the spotlight at various events with manga, American comic books and others.
