From wildlife in Andalucía to an alternative camino in Galicia: readers’ travel tips on unsung Spain

Our tipsters share their favourite seafood haunts, pristine beaches and under-the-radar cities
The city and the province of Jaén can be overlooked by tourists heading to nearby Granada or Córdoba. That’s a shame, given that they are filled with Renaissance architecture, including a magnificent cathedral, and renowned as one of the homes of olive oil.

It sits at the top of the hill of Santa Catalina next to the castle, and the views from its rooms towards the Sierra Morena mountains are unparalleled.
