Very beautiful and peaceful place, it was a great trip. We spent the day in Alcalá and learned a little about its history.

The whole town is amazing, the houses are literally built into the gorge walls! Theres a medieval castle and caves that are actually the residence of an old Spanish bull fighter "El Diablo".. really interesting place to visit and explore. The entrance fee of €3 includes a drink in the underground bar. A must see. The local area is great for kids exploring smd adventurous activities like whitewater rafting, paintball, high rope trapeze... brilliant place!

Well worth a visit. €2.50 each, prices in the gift shop are very reasonable. Not much to look at in rhe Castle, 3 floors and the roof top which offered great views. The best part for me was the cave below the castle, well set out and lots to see. It is quite a walk through the town but the streets are very quaint. There is parking at the Castle for a few cars.

The fort is located on the top and has amazing views. There is an entry ticket but it’s worth it. You can get a 360 degree view of the town. The medieval fortress closes a small space in the rocky ridge, through a series of buildings and an artificial moat. In the fortress as a whole, the keep stands out, as the axis of defense of the enclosure and a symbol of stately power. It is a pentagonal tower, with two turrets at its rear ends, the result of the reforms carried out by D. Juan Pacheco, II Marquis of Villena, in the 15th century. The place has rich history. A must visit if you are in Alcalá Del Jucar.

Good place to relax with your familly. Be aware of the opening times and you need to pay for visit

Really amazing especially during the evening with the reflective lights. The walk up to the castle was also excellent. The little gift shops sell some wonderful memorabilia. A fantastic day out - worth every minute

Amazing castle, town and caves. We rent a car from the station Joaquin Sorrolla and went there in 1.3 hours. Not sure why is not more popular is simply amazing.

Closed. Only able to take a photo from the doorway

(Translated by Google) Catholic parish temple of the town, which covers different styles such as late Gothic and neoclassical. The church dates back to the 15th century when the town was conquered by the Christians. It is built with thick ashlars and has two doors with semicircular arches, giving the main door to the Cuesta de la Hondonera. The Town Hall building is located in front of the aforementioned church. We were not able to visit its interior, since we found it on a night walk and it was closed. (Original) Templo parroquial católico de la localidad, que abarca distintos estilos como el gótico tardío y el neoclásico. La iglesia data del siglo XV cuando la localidad fue conquistada por los cristianos, está construida por gruesos sillares, cuenta con dos puertas con arcos de medio punto, dando la puerta principal a la Cuesta de la Hondonera. El edificio de la Casa Consistorial se encuentra frente a la citada iglesia. No pudimos visitar su interior, ya que la localizamos dando un paseo nocturno y se hallaba cerrada.

(Translated by Google) We couldn't visit it because despite it being holidays, it was closed. We surrounded the church, since it looked beautiful in photos. A shame. (Original) No la pudimos visitar porque a pesar de ser fiestas, estaba cerrada. Rodeamos la iglesia, ya que en fotos parecía preciosa. Una pena.

(Translated by Google) A striking temple, and I wish I could say more about it. Its architecture certainly draws attention, both for its location and its finishes (such as the rear dome). However, I find it a shame how little information is given about it (having previously visited the Tourist Office) and the possibilities of visiting the temple inside. From what I've read, visits are sometimes allowed. I understand (as someone trained in heritage conservation) what it means to open it to the public, but I think the current format isn't quite right either, as there's a metal gate at the door through which you can see the unlit interior. I emphasize this because, on the right, on the door, you can see a box where you can insert €0.50 if you want the lights to turn on for a moment. Is that a lot of money? Not at all. But since you can't go in, it seems unnecessary to have to charge that much (especially in a town where everything you can visit requires a fee). That said, I'd definitely love to return in the future and have the opportunity to visit the church, stopping to admire its architecture, interior decorations, paintings, images, etc. (Original) Templo llamativo, y me gustaría poder decir más al respecto. Su arquitectura sin duda llama la atención tanto por su ubicación como por sus acabados (como la cúpula posterior). No obstante, siento que es una pena la poca información que se da sobre ella (habiendo visitado la Oficina de Turismo previamente) y las posibilidades de visitar el templo por dentro. Por lo que he leído, en ocasiones sí se permite su visita. Entiendo (como persona formada en la conservación patrimonial) lo que supone su apertura al público, pero considero que la forma que existe actualmente tampoco es la correcta, pues hay una verja metálica en la puerta a través de la cuál puedes ver el interior sin iluminación. Recalco esto último puesto que, a la derecha, en la puerta, puedes ver un cajetín donde insertar 0,50€ si quieres que las luces se enciendan un momento. ¿Es mucho dinero? En absoluto. Pero ya que no puedes entrar, me parece por demás tener que cobrar ese dinero (sobre todo en un pueblo donde todo aquello visitable es de pago). Dicho esto, sin duda me encantará volver en el futuro y tener la oportunidad de visitar la Iglesia; detenerme a admirar su arquitectura, sus decoraciones interiores, pinturas, imágenes, etc.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the main and most characteristic places in Alcalá. The door is usually closed and you can only see it from the inside through a grate. Even so, the chimes are very soft, and you can tell that it is in perfect condition, making it an essential part of the fantastic landscape of Alcalá. (Original) Es uno de los lugares principales y más característicos de Alcalá. La puerta la suelen tener cerrada y solo la puedes ver por dentro a través de una reja. Aun así, las campanadas son muy suaves, y se nota que está en perfecto estado, haciendo que sea una parte esencial del paisaje fantástico de Alcalá.

(Translated by Google) Catholic temple built in the 15th century in late Gothic style, undergoing various remodeling until the 18th century, giving it neoclassical elements. The church is made up of a single nave with a Latin cross plan, with a large dome in its central part and its main doorway is in a neoclassical style. (Original) Templo católico construido en el siglo XV en estilo góticotardío, sufriendo diversas remodelaciones hasta el siglo XVIII, otorgándole elementos neoclásicos. La iglesia está formada por una sola nave con planta de cruz latina, con una gran cúpula en su parte central y su portada principal es de estilo neoclásico

(Translated by Google) As soon as we cross the Roman Bridge we begin to climb the Hondonera slope that leaves us at the doors of the Church of San Andrés and the Town Hall. We begin to see the first houses excavated in the rock that transport us to bygone eras. The Church was built in the 15th century and expanded in the 18th century. From various locations such as the castle and viewpoints we can see its silhouette where a beautiful green dome stands out. From an architectural point of view, the church is a robust construction where thick ashlars have been used to create strong walls. The temple has a Latin cross, that is, a central nave and a transept. The naves that make up the church are covered with barrel vaults, reinforced with semicircular arches. I have to say that the interior of the church is painted white and the floors are polished marble or granite, but I would have loved to see its original walls. It has two doors with semicircular arches and the main door faces the Hondonera slope. In front, a small esplanade with some benches welcomes the visitor. The side door faces Pósito Street where the Town Hall is located. (Original) Nada más cruzar el Puente Romano comenzamos a subir por la cuesta de la Hondonera que nos deja a las puertas de la Iglesia de San Andrés y el Ayuntamiento. Comenzamos a ver las primeras casas excavadas en la roca que nos transporta a épocas pasadas. La Iglesia fue construida en el siglo XV y ampliada en el siglo XVIII. Desde varias ubicaciones como el castillo y miradores podemos ver su silueta en donde destaca una bonita cúpula de color verde. Desde el punto de vista arquitectónico, la iglesia es una construcción robusta donde se han empleado sillares gruesos que dan lugar a fuertes muros. El templo tiene cruz latina, esto es, una nave central y un crucero. Las naves que conforman la iglesia están cubiertas con bóvedas de cañón, reforzadas con arcos de medio punto. Tengo que decir que el interior de la iglesia está pintada de blanco y los suelos son de mármol o granito pulido, pero me habría encantado ver sus muros originales. Tiene dos puertas con arcos de medio punto y la puerta principal da a la cuesta Hondonera. Delante una pequeña explanada pequeña con unos bancos acoge al visitante. La puerta lateral da a la calle Pósito donde está el Ayuntamiento.

Great to see the history and explore the caves. You get a complimentary drink at the end of your visit too which is nice. We went Easter weekend and it wasn't busy. The whole town is gorgeous.

A amazing place worth visiting. Got a chance to meet the legendary El Diablo in person. The place is preserved well. There is also lot of photos and antique stuff inside the cave. You also get a free beverage inside. A must visit if you are in Alcalá del Júcar.

Quirky place to go and check out. One drink is included in the entrance price, we all enjoyed a red vermout. We also met El Diablo himself, so you always have that as a possibility.

What a great place to explore! Not my first visit but was for my girlfriend. Great collection of typical Spanish antiques, covering everything from cabinets full of matches, medical equipment, typewriters, farm tools and machinery (to name a few artifacts), my favorite being a mini tractor type ploughing machine with what looks like grannies armchair sat on top for the operator 😂😂. Great value at €3 per person which includes a drink at the far side of the caves, really nice little bar overlooking the river at the mountains that surround Alcalá de Júcar. You can explore further the caves by walking up a 7 stories stairway, so take a deep breath before you do! The cave walkways are fascinating and you discover little nooks along the way. Another benefit is how cool temperature wise in there, especially when it was 40+ outside, so a welcome relief. The owner who is a spitting image of Salvador Dali complete with pointy mustache, there are plenty of photos of him with famous people along the caves, and we managed to grab one with him when we left. Great experience highly recommend!

It's worth to visit. Quite big cave, u can see the beautiful view through some windows(even in the toilet). Also drinks are included in the ticket. It's just 3€. No reason not to visit🤷‍♀️

A must visit when in Alcala del Jucar. Amazing cave museum with a bar. Friendly owner and his dog opens the door that links one side to the other. Only €3.50 including a drink at the bar.

A must see. Much bigger than you’d expect. Key highlights are how extensive the tunnels are that go straight through the mountain and drink is included which you can have at the terrace with nice views. Good price/ quality ratio

We visited Alcalá del Jucar in April 2022, on our way from Albacete to Alarcon… unfortunately it was raining that day. It’s a nice place to see though. The view from a distance is more beautiful than walking around in the mountain village itself. A lot of houses are empty… .

It's a bridge over a river, very nice

Very beautiful place. Must visit.

How Beautiful and romantic bridge!!

Top!

Nice view and beautiful town

(Translated by Google) One of those places that transports you back in time in an instant. It has a single sturdy archway connecting the two sides of the town over the river, and every stone seems to hold centuries-old stories. I spent about 20 minutes crossing it slowly, admiring the views of the water and the castle perched on the rock. Crossing this bridge is like taking a break in time. If you enjoy walking among historical vestiges and enjoying a peaceful setting, you'll love it. In just a few minutes, you can walk leisurely across it, take some photos, and soak up the town's atmosphere. Access is easy, with no hills or complications, perfect for a relaxing stroll. It has that rural charm that needs no embellishment: just walk, look, and enjoy. (Original) Uno de esos lugares que transportan al pasado en un instante. Tiene una sola arcada robusta que comunica las dos partes del pueblo sobre el río, y cada piedra parece guardarse historias centenarias. Me quedé unos 20 minutos cruzándolo despacio, mirando las vistas al agua y al castillo encaramado en la roca. Cruzar este puente es como hacer una pausa en el tiempo. Si te gusta caminar entre vestigios históricos y disfrutar de un entorno tranquilo, te encantará. En solo unos minutos puedes recorrerlo con calma, sacar unas fotos y empaparte del ambiente del pueblo. El acceso es sencillo, sin cuestas ni complicaciones, perfecto para un paseo relajado. Tiene ese encanto rural que no necesita adornos: solo caminar, mirar y disfrutar.

Expectaculat

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) A unique and very relaxing as well as entertaining experience. Enjoying the landscape in the company of your partner was very nice. The instructor explained the handling of the horses to us very well. I would have liked the horses to be in a magazine, but I guess that can't be the case and it's understandable because of the animals. I would repeat if it arose and I recommend it. (Original) Una experiencia única y muy relajante a la vez que entretenida. Disfrutar del paisaje en compañía de tu pareja fue muy bonito. La monitora nos explicó el manejo de los caballos muy bien. Los caballos me hubieran gustado que estuvieran de revista, pero supongo que no podrá ser y se comprende por los animales. Repetiría si surgiera y lo recomiendo.

(Translated by Google) We went on a bachelor party and the multi-adventure experience was amazing. We went go-karting, rafting, and paintball, and each activity was more fun than the last. The instructor, Mario, was a 10/10, attentive, professional, and incredibly helpful, making everything even better. We had a great time and couldn't have chosen a better plan for the bachelorette party. Highly recommended! 🚀🔥 (Original) Fuimos de despedida de soltero y la experiencia en el multiaventura fue brutal. Hicimos karts, rafting y paintball, y cada actividad fue más divertida que la anterior. El monitor Mario ha sido de 10, atento, profesional y con un trato increíble que hizo que todo fuera aún mejor. Nos lo pasamos genial y no pudimos elegir mejor plan para la despedida. ¡Totalmente recomendable! 🚀🔥

(Translated by Google) The horseback riding experience with Turiaventura was overall positive. The route is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and allows you to enjoy the surroundings in a different and special way… At first, I felt a little apprehensive, as I don't have much experience with horses and am a little afraid, but Lucía instills confidence and helps one feel more secure. The animals seem well cared for and calm, which also reassures me. (Original) La experiencia del paseo a caballo con Turiaventura fue en general positiva. El recorrido es bonito, en plena naturaleza, y permite disfrutar del entorno de una forma diferente y especial… Al principio sentí un poco de respeto, ya que no tengo mucha experiencia con caballos y me da un poco de miedo, pero Lucía transmite confianza y ayuda a que uno se sienta más segura. Los animales se ven bien cuidados y tranquilos, lo cual también da tranquilidad.

(Translated by Google) Five dream days with the whole family. We enjoyed all the activities we did, plus the exquisite service from the staff at the restaurant and the activities. It was a unique experience of fun and relaxation. (Original) 5 días de ensueño con toda la familia. Hemos disfrutado de todas las actividades que hemos hecho y además un trato exquisito tanto en las actividades como en el restaurante del personal que nos atendía. Ha sido una experiencia única de diversión y relajación.

I have been there several times and service,restaurant are fine.Hostal is quiet,calm and unexpensive. fully reccomended.

I could see the room is little old but quite clean. And the best thing is i could see the view of the castle. Enjoy the view at night. It's amazing.

Excellent situation to explore the town. Basic but comfortable and warm. Good breakfast and evening meal. Check in elsewhere which was unexpected.

Very good value for money. Good location too. Room comfortable.

(Translated by Google) The only good thing is that the temperature can be regulated and the hot water works perfectly. The service is also quite good, but the room leaves a lot to be desired... Nothing to do with the advertisement. Single beds and the mattress was dancing on the box spring, making it impossible to put beds together. The building does not have anyone guarding the entrance at any time. You have to go to another place to manage the check-in and collect keys. Dining room disabled, you have to go to another restaurant for the included breakfast which, on the other hand, was terrible, you can't choose, they give you a toast with tomato, a slice of York ham, a muffin and an anise doughnut, with coffee or juice. Personally, I wouldn't repeat. (Original) Lo único bueno es que la temperatura se puede regular y el agua caliente funcionan a la perfección. La atención también bastante buena, pero la habitación deja mucho que desear... Nada que ver con el anuncio. Camas individuales y el colchón bailaba sobre el somier, con lo que resultó imposible juntar camas. El edificio no tiene a nadie que vigile en la entrada en ningún momento. Hay que ir a otro lugar para la gestión del chek-in y recoger llaves. Comedor inhabilitado, hay que ir a otro restaurante para el desayuno incluido que, por otro lado, fue pésimo, no puedes elegir, te plantan una tostada con tomate, una loncha de jamón york, una magdalena y una rosquilla de anís, con café ó zumo. Personalmente, no repetiría.

(Translated by Google) The worst place I have ever been dirty old uncomfortable small had everything you couldn't even pee straight because your knees were hitting the wall... the first room they gave us we went to complain because it looked like the one in the house of horrors we couldn't even watch TV since it was on the side of the room next to the door it didn't make sense old bed bases and mattresses anymore... they changed us to another one... ditto for reception you had to go to a hotel on another street for the lousy breakfast also to a bar on the avenue.. it is a theft to pay €106 for a night in a room and with a service this is not even worth €20.. the photos on the website have nothing to do with what you find later.. without a doubt we will never return, the worst night I have ever spent.. of course I will forget about soap in the shower. (Original) El peor sitio donde he estado sucio viejo incómodo pequeño lo tenía todo no podías ni hacer pipi recta porque las rodillas te daban en la pared.. la primera habitación que nos dieron fuimos a quejarnos porque parecía la de la casa de los horrores no podíamos ni ver la tele ya que estaba en un lateral de la habitación junto a la puerta no tenía sentido somieres viejos y colchones más.. nos cambian a otra.. ídem de lo mismo para recepción tenias que ir a un hotel de otra calle para el desayuno pésimo también a un bar de la avenida .. es un robo pagar 106€ por una noche en una habitación y con un servicio este no vale ni 20€.. las fotos de la web no tienen nada que ver con lo que te encuentras después.. sin duda nunca más volveremos la peor noche que he pasado.. por supuesto olvidaré de jabón en la ducha.

Excellent food and service. Nice location overseeing the river.

Great place for a drink before heading up to the castle or the cave houses

Lovely tapas especially the lomo. Very nice owner and splendid views

Best bar of Alcala! A real pet friendly place, thank you for your hospitality!

Tapas was ok, not special. But a nice place and the beer was good

Lovely little bar. Lots of tapas advertised but didn't have any available. The barman got our drinks wrong then when the correct drinks came my Nestea was frozen in the can. Very pretty outdoor seating area.

Worst in Spain so far. Besides the fact that they do not have a menu with prices all is in Spanish and they don't speak English but we got along. The potato's are cold and the ribs were ones of the worst I had in my life. Our dog loved them. 2 stars as the drinks were ok. Off topic a bit, the owners (I think cause they were going in the place private areas) smoked and littered by throwing the cigarettes on the ground and I've draw attention to that and personally picked it up and put it in the ash trey (which was on their table). No English here either, told me (I think) that they sweep it. All other rubbish around flew 2 min later as a gasp of wind came, so not the most civilised place.

Expectacular

(Translated by Google) Slow to serve and there were only 4 tables. The food is small and bad. The burger we ordered arrived cold, the portion of calamari was small for the price, the croquettes were served with a kind of jam on the bottom that took away all the flavor, the torrija was terrible. I was even embarrassed to take a photo of the burger. The truth is that the result is sad, there are many better places to eat than that one. I do not recommend it at all and we will never return to that restaurant. And to make matters worse, the services outside mean that if it is raining you will get soaked. (Original) Lentos para servir y eso que solo éramos 4 mesas justas. La comida poca cantidad y mala. La hamburguesa que pedimos llegó fría, la ración de calamares pequeña para el precio, las croquetas servidas con una especie de mermelada en la parte de abajo que le quitaba todo el sabor, la torrija malísima. A la hamburguesa me dió hasta vergüenza hacerle una foto. El resultado penoso la verdad, hay muchos mejores sitios para comer que en ese. No lo recomiendo para nada y jamás repetimos en ese restaurante. Y para colmo los servicios fuera que si está lloviendo te empapas.

(Translated by Google) We went for lunch on a weekday in the month of May and it was very quiet. The place to eat very well in the shade with beautiful views of the river. The waiter treated us very well and served us quickly. The first meal was salad and manchego gazpacho, the first dish was very good and the portion is large. The second dish, somewhat normal, doesn't come with so much food and is very simple. The dessert was simple and nothing homemade. All for €15 per person and drinks included. The place is not bad if you don't have anywhere else to go because many were closed that day. It's not that I recommend the place because the food is very simple but if there is nothing else you eat more or less well. (Original) Fuimos a comer un día entre semana en el mes de mayo y muy tranquilo. El lugar para comer muy bien a la sombra bonitas vistas al río. El camarero nos atendió muy bien y nos atendieron rapido. La comida de primero ensalada y gazpacho manchego, estaba muy bueno el primer plato y la ración es grande. El segundo plato algo normal no vienen con tanta comida y es muy sencillo. El postre cosas sencillas y nada casero. Todo por 15€ por persona y la bebida incluida. No está mal el lugar si no tienes otro lugar donde ir por que muchos ese día estaban cerrados. No es que recomiende el lugar por que la comida es muy sencilla pero si no hay nada más se come más o menos bien.

(Translated by Google) In a restaurant with a homemade menu, grilled meat, for tourists, many tables, fair staff. The price the same as in the area. The food is not bad, it is not a romantic place or one to eat in a hurry. If it's to spend the day, it's fine and you eat well. I recommend making a reservation because we went at 2:00 p.m. and it was a miracle because without a reservation no one came in until 3:00 or something. (Original) En un restaurante de menú casero, carne a la parrilla, para turistas, muchas mesas, personal justo. El precio el mismo que en la zona. No se come mal, no es un sitio romántico ni para comer con prisas. Si es para pasar el día, está bien y se come bien. Recomiendo reservar porque fuimos a las 14 y de milagro porque sin reserva ya no entro nadie hasta las 15 y algo.

(Translated by Google) The service is excellent and the food is good value. I recommend it; it's worth a try. (Original) La atención es excelente y la comida buena relación calidad precio. Lo recomiendo, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

(Translated by Google) The place and the service are very good. The rice is tasteless. Well done hake. Charging us two euros more for a soda was ugly. They only gave us one for two. (Original) El sitio y el servicio muy bien El arroz insípido. La merluza bien hecha. Cobrarnos dos euros más por una gaseosa, estuvo feo. Solo nos pusieron una para dos.

(Translated by Google) Good service, attentive waiters. Delicious food but battle. Menu price €15 Saturday Services are outside the restaurant. (Original) Buen trato los camareros atentos. Comida rica Pero de batalla. Precio del menú 15 € sábado Los servicios están fuera del restaurante.

Nice bar beside the playa, river and historic bridge. Good selection on the menu, we had a patatas bravas and broken eggs (fried eggs with ham and Potatoes). The broken eggs had a lot of water in the bottom but tasted OK, the patatas bravas was nice but not spicy. Good service, OK price and a great setting.

The view can not make up for selling frozen supermarket pizzas. As you can see from my photo the pizza was a slightly higher quality than I expect from prison cafeteria. The service was slow and I did not see one smile during my entire time in the restaurant. Servers were being yelled at by manager behind the bar in clear view of the customers.

Emperador is really good specially with the mayo The restaurant is underrated

Very Racist Restaurant! I came with a group of non-white friends and were told the place was full. The group behind us said they had no reservation but was given a table anyway. Also interesting that they have several empty tables.

Nice

(Translated by Google) Regardless of the opinions of the people at Google... we had dinner at the movies. We ate two beef burgers with egg, goat cheese, lettuce and tomato, as well as fries and some fantastic pig ears. Everything cost us around €34, the ears cost €9 and the burgers cost €12.5. (Original) Independientemente de las opiniones de la gente de Google… hemos cenado de cine. Nos hemos comido dos hamburguesas de buey con huevo, queso de cabra, lechuga y tomate, además de patatas fritas y unas fantásticas orejas de cerdo. Nos ha salido todo a unos 34€, las orejas 9€ y las hamburguesas a 12,5€

(Translated by Google) I think it's a great bar by the river as it flows through Alcalá del Jucar, where you can have a beer or a soft drink. There are magnificent views of the entire old town as well as the surrounding countryside. On hot days, the shade provided by the trees is appreciated. There are tables only on the terrace; there are no tables inside. (Original) Me parece un bar estupendo junto al río a su paso por Alcalá del Jucar donde poder tomar una cerveza o un refresco. Hay unas vistas magníficas de todo el casco antiguo así como del entorno natural. En los días de calor se agradece la sombra que ofrecen los arboles que hay. Solo son mesas en la terraza, no hay en el interior.
