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. Amongst the whitewashed houses with roses around the balconies are nineteenth century architectural wonders such as churches and arcades.
El Llanillo is all of Alcalá la Real! All streets leading off the central square take you into the district.
