'Andarse por los cerros de Úbeda'

Curiosity · Úbeda, La Loma, Jaén

Image of Úbeda, not of the place itself.

The Spanish expression, meaning to get distracted or dodge a matter, is traditionally traced back to the 1233 siege and the disappearance of captain Álvar Fáñez, who excused himself by saying he had gotten lost in the hills of Úbeda.
