Ubrique is an enchanting white town whose history is hidden under
the blanket of the mountains. It has a rich past that reflects its
heritage:
Narrow streets with a medieval layout,
Fountains and large houses,
and the many churches of Jesus,
San Antonio,
San Juan de Letrán,
Our Lady of the O,
the Baroque Convent of Capuchinos, etc.
A tour to the upper section of Ubrique from the Convent of Capuchinos
to the Plaza Colón will please us details and beautiful corners,
such as the Fuente de los Nueve Caños, an old laundry area
for the neighbourhood, the Iglesia de San Antonio (San Antonio's
Church) which has been a landmark of Ubrique since the 16th century,
and the impressive Peñón de la Becerra.
From the Capuchinos' Convent, we start a tour immersed in history
through the most representative monuments of Ubrique: the Town Hall
(Ayuntamiento), the Church of Our Lady of the O (Iglesia de Nuestra
Señora de la O), and - in the upper section of the town -
we find streets where one can breathe the true Moorish air. The
itinerary ends at the Plaza de Colón.
