ALCALA DE JUCAR, SPAIN, 2010
ALCALA DE JUCAR, SPAIN, 2010

(From my personal archives of digital images, year 2010)

Alcalá de Júcar was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1982. Its location, in one of the meanders of the Júcar river valley and its fortified medieval past, make it especially attractive for rural tourism.

Initially, Alcalá was a village of Jorquera, until on April 18, 1364, the King of Castile Pedro I el Cruel, signed a document in the Grao of Valencia, granting Alcalá del Júcar the villazgo and segregation with respect to Jorquera , with assignment of the Jurisdiction of Laws, council ordinance and other rights.

In the photo, we can see terraced houses built into the strata of this bend in the Júcar River. Many of them have interior caves.

And above, we can see the remains of the Alcalá de Júcar castle.

Alcalá is a Spanish toponym that designates various towns associated with the presence of a castle.

The word is a Castilianization of the Arabic word "al-qala`a," which literally means "the castle."

Note: There were several cables that marred the photo, but I removed them using a new tool in Photoshop.

ALCALA DE JUCAR, SPAIN, 2010

(De mi archivo personal de imágenes digitales, año 2010)

Alcalá de Júcar fue declarada Conjunto Histórico-Artístico en 1982. Su ubicación, en uno de los meandros del valle del río Júcar y su pasado medieval fortificado, la hacen especialmente atractiva para el turismo rural.

Inicialmente, Alcalá fue aldea de Jorquera, hasta que el 18 de abril de 1364, el rey de Castilla Pedro I el Cruel, firmó un documento en el Grao de Valencia, concediendo a Alcalá del Júcar el villazgo y segregación respecto a Jorquera , con cesión del Fuero de Leyes, ordenanza concejil y otros derechos.

En la foto podemos ver casas escalonadas construidas en los estratos de ese meandro del río Júcar. Muchas de ellas tienen cuevas interiores.

Y en la parte superior podemos ver los restos del castillo de Alcalá de Júcar.

Alcalá es un topónimo español que designa a diversas localidades relacionadas con la presencia de un castillo.

La palabra es una castellanización de origen árabe "al-qala`a", que significa literalmente "el castillo".

Nota: Había varios cables que afeaban la foto, pero los que quitado usando una nueva herramienta de Photoshop.
