Well, maybe it wasn't. That's what I've found onthe net:Alcalá la Real to Alcaudete:
Another day, another imposing moorish hill fort. Alcaudete's was taken over by the knights of Calatrava, and somebody in the town told me it had never been captured since. I didn't like to ask about Napoleon.
"The plains surrounding it (Alcaudete - added by K1) were the site of Napoleon Bonaparte's first major defeat (19 July 1808) in the various wars he was waging in Europe at the time. The news of his defeat at the hands of the allied Spanish and English forces shortly after the start of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) spread like wildfire around the old continent and destroyed the myth of French invincibility."
Anyway, have a nice day and I will too as I'll host our forum member Tim coming to my hometown running a marathon on Sunday
