Jódar, Administrative division in Jaén Province, Spain
Jódar extends across hills at the base of Sierra Mágina mountains, surrounded by extensive olive groves and natural formations reaching heights of 1500 meters.
The Christian forces under Sancho Martínez de la Torre captured this settlement in 1231, following orders from King Fernando III during the Reconquista campaign.
The town maintains traditional handicraft production of esparto grass items, particularly creating parasols that are distributed throughout European beach destinations.
The Mediterranean climate of Jódar features temperature variations between warm summer days and cold winter periods, affecting agricultural activities in the region.
Jódar holds the position of largest producer in Europe for handcrafted esparto grass products, continuing a centuries-old tradition of artisanal craftsmanship.
