ノアレホのおすすめツーリングルート

Don't mistake the Fortress of La Mota for a castle! The entire city of Alcalá la Real was once located within its walls, and you'll need more than an hour to explore it. Guided tours are also available in German, French, and English (in addition to Spanish) if you'd like (maicamero.com).

Alcalá la Real is located at a strategic point between the Guadalquivir Valley and the plains of Granada, which has given it a significant role in Andalusian history. The city's origins date back to prehistoric times, as evidenced by finds from the Paleolithic and Bronze Ages. During the Roman era, the settlement of Sucaelo was probably located here. An impressive marble sculpture of Hercules also dates from this period. Today, Alcalá la Real is characterized by a diverse cultural heritage. The impressive La Mota fortress is just one of many historical buildings, which also include numerous churches and monasteries. The city is also known for its lively traditional festivals and diverse cuisine, which attracts numerous visitors.

Beautiful and lively place. Nice restaurants and cafes

This church is located in the square next to the Dehesas Viejas pensioner's home and is called Nuestra Señora del Rosario. It does not have a high artistic value, although it is much more sentimental for the inhabitants of the town.

A little further on and already inside the town we find another public water fountain whose aesthetics are somewhat better than the usual ones.

Right at the entrance to the town of Dehesas Viejas we find this public fountain located in the shade so we can fill our water containers.

Church located in the Granada town of Campotéjar, whose patron saint is carried in procession on the last Sunday in April. This religious building does not have much artistic value except that it houses the town's patron saint. It is worth noting that on the right there is a passage for vehicles whose roof is part of the church itself.

In memory of the man who was Justice of the Peace of Noalejo from 2008 to 2022, the town has named an avenue after him and to show its gratitude, the Town Hall has placed a monolith with an inscription carved in stone.
