This is the first town we visited in the Jaen Province. This is where the estate agents we bought our house from have their office. It is a really nice place with lots of shops, bars and cafes and there is a nice park in the heart of the town. It is also fairly flat and is easy for walking. There is a very large hill on which sits Castle la Mota, which dominates the landscape as you approach the town from the north. We haven't been up there yet as I don't fancy the walk, perhaps when it is cooler. Alcala is only a 30 - 40 minute drive from Granada and has a fairly large contingent of British people living in and around the area.
The estate agent we bought our house from is owned by Chris and Vanessa, who were married during the summer. We were invited and had a really nice time.
Angela snapped this picture of me outside the town hall just before the wedding. I'm posing in front of several farmers on horseback who had stopped for a drink at a cafe. Angela's uncle thought I was the mayor when he saw the picture but he had had a few whisky's at the time so was a bit confused
