Has anyone been to Jaen and if so, what was your impression and experience? We have a week (of a 3 week trip in Spain) in Andalucia and we are thinking of spending 3 nights in Seville, 2 in either Cordoba OR Jaen (staying in the Parador), and then 2 nights in Granada. Any thoughts on the middle portion would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Jaen is beautiful a bit of the tourist trail but great city, right in the centre of the olive oil industry. It does not have as great a sights as the others but has a very much more local feel. Not quite as easy to get to with public transport as the others either. Although there is a regular bus to between Granada and Jaen.
There is little up at the parador Jaen but a great view. No atmosphere unless the locals are celebrating with family, like a wedding or a birthday.
If this is a votey thing it has to be Cordoba, but the parador is away from "the sites" and I have not been there.
Thanks everyone - seems it may have been a silly question! So many places to see, so little time.
