Alcala is a small town between Cordoba and Granada and was a frontier town with the Spanish. This area has a concentration of forts - apparently some 400 - and Alcala's is one of the best preserved.

| Mary, baby Jesus and hawk. |
 |
| Huge storage vats |
 |
| The church was burnt by the French and used as a burial ground. |
 |
| A bodega, or wine shop |
 |
| The ice vault. Snow was brought from the mountains and stored here. Melt fowed out the drains. |
 |
| A butcher's shop apparently |
 |
| Not a bad view |
 |
| Shot of the new old town just to prove there's more than just a castle. |
 |
| Odd geology on the road to Granada. |
