LOCATION

Jaén is one of the eight provinces of Andalusia and it is located in the Northern part of this Autonomous Community. The limits of Jaén correspond to the borders of the Castilian Plateau and the Betic System mountain range to the South. The Guadalquivir valley, the most important basin of Andalusia, makes its way from the centre of Jaén. This province borders to the North with the Castilian provinces of Ciudad Real and Albacete, to the South and East with Granada and to the West with Córdoba.

ACCESS

Jaén is well connected by a wide network of roads and railways. The Andalusian Highway, the IV State main road, crosses Jaén from North to South. The Despeñaperros natural mountain pass is 40 km away from Bailén, which is a communication junction where the N-323 Highway, which leads to Jaén and Granada, starts. Other important roads are: N-322, which crosses the towns of La Loma, Las Villas and Segura; and N-423, which links the Sierra Sur towns.
