Sabiote has a long tradition of band music, and despite historical difficulties, it has managed to keep it alive among its residents. The town has a small bandstand where the band offers concerts to its residents on the hot Andalusian evenings in the Plaza de Santa Cruz. The Silverio Campos band is the main band, responsible for delighting the audience.

This church was rebuilt in the 16th century, although construction began in 1500 on the site of a previous church that, like most, was demolished. The Gothic-Isabelline north portal was designed by Alonso Barba, a disciple of Andrés de Vandelvira, architect of Jaén Cathedral. His project was delayed due to a lack of funding and was not completed until the 17th century. This church was declared a National Monument in 1972.

In the other part of the city, which is divided by the N-322 national highway, now served by the highway, half the population lived on that side, while the other half lived on the other side. This artery was full of intersections with traffic lights that are now unusable due to the little or no traffic that passes through that area. The sports complex serves the physical needs of the citizens in fairly well-maintained facilities.

This is the name given to this central town square, where residents often gather to stroll, chat, or listen to music at the equally central bandstand. On this day, a tent is set up, likely to provide shelter from the sun during local festivals or other local activities. This square also has a playground for children and a fountain that currently no longer runs water.

This is a very well-preserved section of Úbeda's ancient wall, which also includes a tower and a small space dedicated to rest. We are in the heart of the city, very close to the Town Hall and where most of the town's monuments are located.
