Alcalá del Júcar is one of the most picturesque villages in Castilla-La Mancha, famous for its spectacular location on a deep bend of the Júcar River. The terraced white houses, the caves carved into the rock, and its castle overlooking the canyon make it a must-see destination.
Castle of Alcalá del Júcar
A fortress of Arab origin, rebuilt after the Reconquista. The best views of the canyon and the village can be enjoyed from the top.

Alcalá del Júcar

Highlight • Castle

The most striking thing about this charming town is the impressive views of Alcalá del Júcar Castle from the river beach.

If you'd like to visit the hilltop town, I recommend leaving your bike near the beach, as the streets are very steep and narrow.

The Júcar Canyons

Highlight • Gorge

This track is very quiet and runs along the banks of the Júcar River along the white cliffs characteristic of this area. You can see the numerous erosions in the limestone rock and the recesses that have been created over the years. Some of them have been used as caves to preserve food and for mushroom cultivation. It is a truly special place.

Cycling along the river Júcar you reach the town of La Recueja with houses built on the steep hill of the river bend. The local sandstone provides exciting riding routes.
