The Inland Andalucia / Jaen Province region
Thirty five kilometres northwest of Granada is the fortified town of Moclín, a village of whitewashed houses clustered around a hilltop castle. It is the most famous settlement in the battle for Granada, since it played a crucial defensive role in maintaining the Moorish hold on their kingdom. After fighting bitterly for Moclín for hundreds of years, the Christians finally conquered the town in 1486. Once it was taken, the Christians used the town as a base for launching their final successful attack on Granada. The ruins of the great castle and its watchtowers are suitably romantic and have unforgettable views of the surrounding mountains.
Alcala La Real / Moclin area
* On the 17 th January there is the day of celebration in honour of San Antón, the patron Saint of the village. * October the 5 th is the day of the annual religious pilgrimage in honour of the very important and highly revered, Cristo del Paño (Christ of the cloth). * During the summer months there are many cultural events, some specially geared towards the younger members of the community.
Nature and outdoor activities
The municipality of Moclín is set in a magnificent natural mountainous scenery. The local agricultural industry of cultivating cereals and olives enhances the beauty of the surroundings considerably. There are spectacular walks all around the area for those who like to breathe in fresh air and enjoy the tranquillity of this privileged spot in Andalusia. With the numerous superb vantage points over dramatic landscapes, it is ideal for photographers and nature lovers alike. The pine clad mountain sides are home to an incredible array of flora and fauna, including snakes, genets, owls and eagles as well as many more. Rural tourism is growing in this area, allowing the more ecologically sensitive traveller to appreciate and enjoy these exceptional surroundings.
