Alcalá de Guadaíra

Alcalá de Guadaíra, a town of rich history and allure, lies just 17 km southeast of Seville. Once celebrated as Alcalá de los Panaderos, it was the heart of bread-making, supplying loaves to the bustling city nearby. The whispers of its past can still be felt along the banks of the Guadaíra River, where ancient watermills stand as a testament to its Moorish heritage. The history of Alcalá de Guadaíra is a journey through time—from the Roman city of Irippo to the resplendent Moorish fortifications that once guarded its lands. It was here that the resilient spirit of its people shone, even as they faced challenges from various kingdoms and the eventual conversion to Castilian rule in 1244.
