Alcalá la Real is a spectacular town in Jaen that is located on a strategic natural communication route between the Guadalquivir valley and the Granada plain. This location has given it great importance over the centuries. On the hill of La Mota stands a fortress of the same name that is a collection of civilizations, especially from the Muslim period, although the Romans previously settled here, and later Gothic and Renaissance style buildings were added.

Considered one of the most fought-over fortresses in the region, the castle dominates the town located on the old road from the Guadalquivir River to Granada. It is worth the climb for the spectacular views of the surrounding landscape and mountains. The Alcaudete castle has a museum that highlights the history of the Military Order of Calatrava.
