Discover the art of Manuel López – Sculpting andalusian traditions 🌿✨

When you visit this corner of Jaén, you’ll probably come across the incredible sculptures of Manuel López, one of the most renowned sculptors from Andújar. His works are scattered across the region.

👉 And here’s something interesting: some of his sculptures are created in collaboration with Fernando Bejarano Carmona, a talented blacksmith and forger from Arjonilla. Together, they craft unique pieces that blend art, craftsmanship, and Andalusian heritage.

Here’s a glimpse of some of Manuel López's most iconic sculptures. And at the end… one of his latest creations, recently donated to the city of Andújar! 🌿

📸 1 & 2 El Hortelano – A tribute to the local farmers, honoring their mark on the landscape and traditions.
📸 3️ Mujer en Jamuga – A depiction of a pilgrim woman in the Romería de la Virgen de la Cabeza, one of Jaén’s most iconic traditions.
📸 4️ & 5 Hermano Abanderado – Honoring the flag bearers of the Fiesta de los Santos in Arjona, a symbol of history and devotion.
📸 6 & 7 Homage to Theatre – Representing Thalia, the muse of comedy, near the old comedy house.
📸 8️ Rotonda de los Íberos – A sculpture full of history. We’ll tell you more about it another day! 😉
📸 9 & 10 Virgen de la Cabeza – A beautiful sculpture of the Virgin of the Cabeza, patron saint of Andújar with ceramic details.

🌸 Almond blossoms in Jaén – The first sign of spring! 🌿
Almond trees are the first to bloom, announcing that spring is just around the corner! And yes, Jaén isn’t just about olive trees—it’s also home to nearly 5,400 hectares of almond groves.

You can spot them among the olive trees, with their white and pink blossoms adding a beautiful touch to the landscape. These hardy trees thrive in our climate and are often planted to mark the edges of olive groves, or they simply grow wild in the countryside

But if there’s one place where almond trees truly stand out, it’s Sierra Mágina—Jaén’s prime almond-growing region, producing nearly 6,000 tons of almonds every year!

✨ Wouldn’t you love to see these spectacular blossoms while strolling through the countryside?

In Spain, November 1st holds a truly special meaning. While Halloween has gained popularity, we continue to celebrate All Saints' Day—a tradition that has remained strong for centuries.

Flowers at the cemetery, gathering with friends over migas, and enjoying classic sweets like huesos de santo are all ways we stay connected to our roots.

Preserving these traditions means a lot to us, and we love sharing them with those who come to experience our culture firsthand. This is the real Spanish way!

Get a taste of true Andalusian culture! 🌞
Miguel Ángel shows us a traditional "canto"—simple but packed with flavor: fresh bread, local AOVE (extra virgin olive oil), a ripe tomato, and local charcuterie.

This was the classic field meal for generations, bringing energy and connection to the land. Join us to experience Spain’s authentic flavors and cultural roots, crafted by locals who live it every day.
