Jaén Paraíso Interior

* Guide written over the original course. Files updated Sunday 11th February.

Over just three editions, the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior has built a strong presence in the international scene, some prestige as the biggest ‘appetizer’ before the spring classics, a distinct event thanks to its ‘olive paths’ between Baeza and Úbeda.

Twelve offroad sectors are covered in the 162km race, two of them including descent while most will include demanding climbs. The final 3x circuit includes the ‘sterrati’ of Virgen de la Salud (5.7km) and Soledades (6km), the latter completed for the last time just 2.7km from the end.
