About the province of Jaén:
Jaén is known as the world's leading producer of olive oil, which is a fundamental part of the local economy and culture. The landscape is dotted with extensive olive groves, and the province is often referred to as the "sea of olives." Jaén's rich history is reflected in its many Renaissance towns, castles, and fortresses that date back to the Moorish and Reconquista periods. The province is also home to the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, which is the largest protected area in Spain and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The region's gastronomy features olive oil as a staple ingredient, and the local cuisine includes traditional dishes such as "pipirrana" and "espinacas jabalinas." Jaén's cultural heritage includes festivals like the Holy Week processions, which are deeply rooted in local traditions.
