Unknown places to discover - We visited the castle of Baños de la Encina and the Hermitage of Jesus the Plain (although the plain is a heavy joke) with its baroque dressing room. We loved it, we discovered very interesting and unknown things about our geography. The local guides are fantastic and explain the history of their village with pride and good work. Recomendable 100%

Have a broad vision of everything we visit - The tour guide we had, whose name is Jose Fernando, was an exceptional guide, explaining in detail everything we saw. Thank you

Beautiful intact castle ruin - One of the most beautiful old castles in Andalusia. It will be a beautiful experience for both children and adults. Impressive how intact it all is.

Impressive castle and pretty town. - The visit was very interesting, enjoyable and entertaining with the explanations of the Encina guide. The town surprised us, very beautiful and well-kept. Highly recommended.

The most beautiful castle in Jaen - If you love castles, you must visit this one. The guide was charming, funny and explained everything in a very easy and understandable way.

Awesome - Despite the rain and wind, we loved the guided tour of the castle. Without a doubt we have to repeat when the weather is better to fully enjoy Baños de la Encina

Recommended visit if you are in the area or passing through - Well preserved fortress castle. You can walk around well, the only difficulty, for obvious reasons, is the Keep. I recommend the visit with a guide, it lasts between 30-45 meters, it is enjoyable and with useful information. You have to reserve. The parking lot upstairs is small.

A GREAT SURPRISE - BURGALIMAR Castle is in excellent condition, they say it is the best Muslim castle in Europe, the truth is that the castle and the town itself (great unknown to me) were a very pleasant surprise. The guide's explanations were very accurate and enjoyable. We also visited the surroundings on the tourist train arriving at the RUMBLAR RESERVOIR, a hidden gem. The landscape is very nice and the walk is very pleasant. The sunset improved the views even more. I recommend it

Another treasure of Andalusia - We really enjoyed the visit to this castle and Chema made it very enjoyable for us, with his salt shaker he kept us attentive throughout the visit. I think the duration of the guided route is correct, and there are panels that you can read for more information. The castles are super beautiful, it is nice to see that our land has these treasures.

Improper treatment of tour operator - We have just seen the castle of Baños de la Encina and it has been spectacular, worth a stop to see. Guide José Manuel explained the highlights and then made a free visit. The company that carries out the sightseeing tours is the one that unfortunately overshadowed our final impression since the person who has attended us at the tourist office with whom I could not contact by phone only by WhatsApp sent me a message with a link to make the reservation of the guided tour of the castle charging a price with management costs and without explaining in the message the possibility of being able to buy the cheapest ticket at the door of the castle and without expenses. When I went at the direction of the person selling the tickets to explain what happened the deal has been unpleasant from my point of view without giving me clear explanations of what happened just told me that he clearly stated on the website that he personally carries that there is discount in the online booking, the link he has sent me does not put it anywhere if on the website, and that he would not discuss it because he carried it. I told him I didn’t want to discuss it I just wanted him to give me back the difference between what I had paid and what other people paid at the castle ticket office and the management costs they charged me because they didn’t give me a choice in the message he sent to buy it there. He agreed to refund the difference without the management costs and when he told me that it did not seem fair because of the lack of information that I explained before he told me that he made a full refund of the visit without the management costs. I replied that I did not want to make a free visit only that it seems to me that since I could not speak on the phone in the message sent I should explain the other options of purchase of the reservation. And it is a shame his final comment "if I have returned the full amount I do not know what you are complaining about"...
