                <description><![CDATA[A fish restaurant - La Menu del Dias is very cheap and popular with the locals so must be good! <br><br>Just on the road out of Alcala towards Granada. You get a bottle of wine with the meal all for little more than an English fiver. Only Spanish- speaking so take your translation with you.]]></description>

There is also a good restaurant so lots of food choices.<br><br>La Parqu is the restaurant/bar in the middle of Alacala square. It is a beautiful area where all the family stroll in the evening.

                <description><![CDATA[El Llanillo is the heart and soul of the town with its streets slowly winding up the hill to La Mota castle. Just get lost and seek out its hidden historic gems.

                <description><![CDATA[Alcalá's eighteenth century town hall shows off the past commercial wealth of the town as an important Moorish trading site for textiles and pottery (both still made in Alcalá la Real). <br><br>It has gracious arcades where you can sit and appreciate the beauty and peace of this typical Andalucian town. The clock tower attached to the town hall is impressive too.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This church is well worth a visit whilst walking up the hill to La Mota castle. It is famous for being the home of the 'Cristo de Salud' (Cup of health) which is shown in all it's glory during the Holy Week processions.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is the jewel in the crown of Alcalá's architectural beauty with fabulous views of the provinces of Jaén and Granada. It has a very good museum about the period of Moorish rule over the town. Small sections of the fortifications are continually being excavated giving superb insights into Moorish building techniques. Excellent bus links with Granada and Jaén make this village a worthwhile day trip from either Granada (25 mins away by bus) or Jaén (45 min away by bus).]]></description>
