Distant locality little more than fifteen kilometers of Alagón, capital of the region of the High Bank of Ebro, to that it belongs. The horticultural agriculture and the cultivation of wheat and alfalfa constitutes the base of the economy of this population.

The first news relative to the locality of Alcala of Ebro alludes to the castle of Moslem origin that on the banks of Ebro was part of the defensive system of the city of Saragossa.
After the conquest of the city of Saragossa and his surroundings in 1118, the castle happened to be part of the real honors, places in those who would form the first dominions of the High Bank of Ebro, on having been entrusted to the noblemen who were accompanying the monarch.

The property on Alcala corresponded to the house of the Moon and later to Pedro de Quesada, beginning linking for successive matrimonial relations with the house of the dukes of Villahermosa installed in the Town of Pedrola, up to the abolition of the dominions in 1833.
The best diffusion that has had the locality of Alcala of Ebro in history of the Spanish literature, has been his identification with famous Isle Barataria, in a time governed by Sancho Panza, well-known squire of the most famous Spanish literary figure, Don Quixotic. a sculpture of the mythical governor, this one reminds episode to us.

In his city center, with typical closed apples and housings traditional of two apartments, we find the parochial church of The holiest Trinidad erected during the XVIIth century in baroque style.

Also there is interesting the palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa, to sorrow of that, at present, is in ruins.

The first weekend of August the holidays take place management, with the dancers of the paloteado that has being realized from 1929. (ftes and text to see links)
