Tour description

  • TOUR OF THE WORLD HERITAGE CITY OF ALCALÁ DE HENARES.


A great experience for lovers of history, culture, art, travel and tourism.

Alcalá de Henares is the birthplace of the great writer Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote. A must-see for visitors to Madrid. We couldn't forget to mention its university, which is one of the most famous in Spain along with Salamanca. Alcalá is a city full of literary figures, legends and stories, with a great cultural legacy since the three monotheistic cultures coexisted there, and from its streets we can distinguish which neighborhood we are in, whether it is the Christian, the Arab or the Jewish one.


Places to visit with the tour.

Booksellers Street.

Plaza de San Diego where the façade of the university is located, with access to the interior of its three courtyards.

Cervantes Square.

Chapel of the Oidor.

Calle Mayor, the street with the largest number of arcades in Spain and where Miguel de Cervantes' birthplace is located.

Plaza de los Santos Niños, also known as the cathedral square, as it is home to the Magistral Cathedral of the Holy Children, Justo and Pastor.

Bernarda Square.


Gates of Madrid and Burgos in the walls.





I am a young man who has been in love with Alcalá's culture and history since I was a child. Tourism and culture are my passions and I am delighted to welcome you and show you my city and its most unknown corners with the greatest enthusiasm.
