From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Fortaleza de la Mota
Fortress from the Nasrid period, with parts dating as far back as the 8th century. There is plenty to see and read. Kid friendly.
16th-century church.
Museo Arqueológico de Palacio Abacial
Good archeological evidence and detailed explanations are exhibited inside.
Mirador de San Marcos
An excellent viewpoint of the city and the fortress. It's a good uphill walk from the city center if you want to join the locals for an after-meal stroll; otherwise, you can drive or bike up.
Alcalá la Real lies some 60 km north-west from Granada by N-432, some 60 km south from Jaén by A-6050 and some 100 km south-east from Córdoba by N-432.
