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).

You can't miss this castle as it dominates it's hill high over the town. It is clearly signposted from the bus station. Almost all direct buses running between Granada and Jaén stop at Alcalá. A return ticket from Granada cost 3.35 euros.
