Holiday apartment in Alcalá De Guadaíra: Culture, Mills and River Landscape

Alcalá De Guadaíra combines a focused view of its own landscape with the history of mills, bread and water. At the Museo de Alcalá de Guadaíra, the permanent exhibition comprises more than seventy works of landscape painting centred on Alcalá de Guadaíra, covering a period of one century. Temporary exhibitions are held on the upper floor, either produced by the museum itself or originating from other cultural institutions. Different forms of cultural interpretation thus exist side by side without losing sight of the town and its surroundings.

Culture

The connection between urban history and food is particularly vividly presented at the Harinera del Guadaíra. Today, the building houses the Interpretation Centre of the baking industry. Machines and display panels explain the life of Alcalá de Guadaíra in connection with milling and bread production from the 12th century to the present day. At the same time, the Harinera del Guadaíra is a former flour factory founded in 1934, whose machines used an Austro-Hungarian milling system. There is also a workshop area where, together with bakers from Alcalá, you can experience shaping Alcalá bread.

History

Molino de la Mina also leads into an era when water determined the work of the mills. The facility was built between the 14th and 15th centuries as a “de cubo” watermill. The waterfall from an atarjea supplied the power for its two millstones. Molino de la Mina has an accessible entrance and an adjoining interpretation area with a model, explanatory texts and videos, virtual-reality headsets and gamification elements. Historic milling technology and modern forms of interpretation are combined here in the same facility.

Nature

At the Monumento Natural Ribera de Guadaíra, visits are possible on paths or routes approved for this purpose. Sporting activities and active tourism activities are also permitted in areas approved for this purpose. The Green Corridor of the Guadaíra River is a network of green routes between Seville and the municipalities of Morón de la Frontera, Alcalá de Guadaíra, Arahal and Carmona. The Guadaíra River serves as the most important connecting axis.

You can experience the riverside landscape of the Guadaíra River by kayak. Alongside the designated paths and routes, this also provides opportunities for activities on the water directly connected with the river environment.
