There is no more convincing proof of the diversity of Andalucia than its eastern provinces: Jaen , with its rolling, olive-covered hills; Granada , dominated by Spain's highest peaks, the Sierra Nevada; and Almeria , waterless and in part semi-desert. Jaen is slightly isolated from the main routes around Andalucia, but if you're coming down to Granada from Madrid you might want to consider stopping over in the small towns of Ubeda or Baeza , both crammed with Renaissance architectural jewels and served on the main train line by their shared station of Linares-Baeza. Ubeda also serves as the gateway to Cazorla and its neighbouring natural park. Granada , a prime target of any Spanish travels, is easily reached from Sevilla, Cordoba, Ronda, Malaga or Madrid. When you've exhausted the city, there are dozens of nearby possibilities, perhaps the most enticing being the walks in the newly created national park of the Sierra Nevada and its lower southern slopes, Las Alpujarras . The Almeria beaches , least developed of the Spanish Mediterranean, are also within striking distance.
