San Pablo church is like something out of Romeo and Juliet with a 13th century balcony which is enhanced by Renaissance features. The inside is quite dreary and disappointing compared to the exterior but it's a good enough spot for prayer or contemplation.
Plaza del Primero de Mayo - follow C/Horno Contado from the Plaza Vázquez de Molina.
This spectacular building now houses the town hall of Úbeda and it's principal eye-catching piece is the façade fronted by enormous monumental lions.
The Palacio de Cadenas is situated on the Plaza Vázquez de Molina - just follow the brown 'Zona Monumental' tourist signs from the bus station in Úbeda.
This tremendous Renaissance square is the main focal point of Úbeda's social life with cafés and curio shops around it. It was also designed to show off the 16th century Renaissance buildings of Andrés de Vandelvira (who designed the cathedrals and Baeza and Jaén). It compares well to the Plaza Mayor/Plaza de Leones in Baeza.
From the bus station in Úbeda follow the brown tourist signs to the 'Zona Monumental' and you'll eventually reach the square.
