Jaén

Highlight • Settlement

Surrounded by olive groves, the city of Jaén is one of the gates of Andalusia. Located in the northeast of the Andalusian autonomous community, straddling the Sierra Morena and the Betic Cordilleras, it shelters the source of the Guadalquivir. Its Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin faces the Town Hall and the Episcopal Palace. It is huge for a city of this size.

Basilica of San Ildefonso

Highlight • Religious Site

It is considered the second temple of the city, after the Cathedral, and has a special meaning due to the miraculous episode of the "Descent of the Virgin", on June 10, 1430, which with a celestial procession stopped at this temple.

Quiebrajano River

Highlight • River

This is where the Eliche and Quiebrajano rivers meet, the latter being the subject of the photograph.
The Quiebrajano River doesn't normally carry water because the dam located several kilometers upstream retains almost all of it, and the subsoil absorbs the small amount that flows through the stream.

Eliche River

Highlight • River

This important river, whose flow remains stable throughout the year, serves to guarantee irrigation throughout the Vega de los Puentes area of Jaén, as it is fed by other small tributaries that guarantee the flow of water.
This river gives rise to the well-known canyons, which in the future may contain walkways to navigate the gorge for the enjoyment of citizens, although we don't know how far this political proposal will last.

Puente de la Sierra Roundabout

Highlight • Structure

This roundabout, decorated with agricultural motifs, serves to divert traffic towards the Quiebrajano reservoir or the Jontoya Bridge. However, this road only carries significant traffic during the summer months, as during the winter and spring there is hardly any traffic, except for cyclists who travel to reach the reservoir or the Cañada de la Azadillas.

Jaén River Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Jaén River is the name given to the confluence of the Eliche and Quiebrajano rivers, which now form a significant flow.
I passed by when they were clearing the riverbanks and removing the weeds that cause flooding at the Jontoya Bridge, so the widening of the channel can be seen.
