Alcalá de Guadaíra

Alcalá de Guadaíra spans across 284 square kilometers of terrain at 46 meters elevation, featuring a combination of urban developments and natural landscapes along the Guadaíra River.

The settlement evolved from an ancient Turdetan city called Irippo, which minted its own currency during Roman times before becoming a Muslim stronghold until 1244.

The municipality maintains deep connections to Seville's bread-making tradition, earning its historical nickname 'Alcalá de los Panaderos' for supplying the majority of Seville's bread.

The town connects to Seville through the A-92 motorway and A-392 road, providing residents with easy access to the provincial capital's services and employment opportunities.

Medieval watermills constructed during the Moorish period still stand along the Guadaíra River, marking centuries of industrial heritage in flour production.
