Plaza Vázquez de Molina is the heart of the historic town of Úbeda in Jaén province, Andalusia, less than a kilometre from the city centre in a straight line. Úbeda sits on the southern ridge of a tableland between the Guadalquivir and Guadalimar rivers. Úbeda and neighbouring Baeza enjoyed rich patronage in the early 16th century, and a series of Renaissance palaces and churches built then has survived. In 2003 UNESCO listed the historic centres of both towns as a World Heritage Site. Golden stone palaces with balanced facades, carved windows and coats of arms line the long square, among them the Palacio de las Cadenas, now the town hall, with clipped green hedges and a fountain in the middle and the church of El Salvador at one end. The square is a quiet place to wander, especially at sunset when the stone turns gold. Úbeda and nearby Baeza fit easily into one day, and summers in the area are very hot.
