What will we do?
Welcome to Alcalá de Henares!
With local, native, and certified guides, you’ll get the perfect introduction to understanding a city with over 2,000 years of history. We’ll uncover the secrets of the world’s first University City, designed by Cardinal Cisneros, the coexistence of the “Three Cultures” in Alcalá, and, of course, the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the genius behind Don Quixote.
We’ll start at Plaza de las Bernardas, a quiet spot that will let us explore the Historic District from the outskirts in. We’re saving the University for last… like the climax of a good novel! All spiced up with fun facts, entertaining explanations, and a final game.
