The whitewashed towns of Andalucia are a popular diversion for travelers exploring southern Spain, but the unknown town of Alcalá del Júcar is unlikely to have made it onto your itinerary.
Located between Albacete and Valencia, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town boasts a striking backdrop, with its whitewashed buildings and narrow lanes overlooked by a towering rock.
