| Information about the town and/or neighborhood | Alcalá de Guadaíra is a town located in Seville, Andalusia, in the south of Spain. It has 75,000 inhabitants, and it is near the capital, Seville, just about 15 kilometers. Its location is perfect to visit nearby towns as Carmona, Osuna, and many others touristic places where you can learn about our culture and also enjoy our excellent gastronomy. The weather is fantastic, warm and sunny most of the year, and slightly cold or rainy in winter. Alcalá has been really famous throughout history because of its bread and the mills used for its elaboration; in fact, some of them are still found nearby the river Guadaíra. The pipeclay (albero), a golden Andalusian-type sand, is another symbol of our town. Its impressive castle, with outstandings views of all the town, dates from Arabian times. You can visit it or walk along the beautiful Oromana park, a great place to enjoy nature. The Dragon Bridge is another must if you come to Alcalá.
