Out of the central valley of the Guadalquivir, and
lying against an eleven-towered castle, rises a picturesque
village once known as Alcalá de los Panaderos
for the enormous mills scattered across its area,
which have been restored to safeguard its Arab past.
In a pleasant stroll through the village and its
surroundings the traveller will come across the Marcherilla
Castle the Posito House a two. Story building built
in the eighteenth century with a brick façade
flanked by pilasters; the palace and necropolis of
Gandul an example of a megalithic settlement and tombs
characteristic of the early copper age; and the churches
of Santiago, San Sebastian and San agustin.
If you come during Holy Week you will have a magnificent
view from the heights of the Roman bridge of the Arrest
of Our Father Jesus a festivity that has been declared
of National Tourist Interest.
