Tour description

Welcome to the Alcalá World Heritage Tour! (For English tours, please contact me)

This tour will give you the perfect introduction to a city with a history spanning over two millennia . You'll learn the intricacies of what was and is the world's first university city, thanks to Cardinal Cisneros, what Alcalá was known as the City of Three Cultures , and the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra , the author of Don Quixote.

We'll begin in Plaza de las Bernardas , a quiet and less crowded spot in the Old Town, and gradually visit the main tourist attractions , culminating in the University, the highlight of the tour. We'll then delve into everything at the end, like a good novel, full of interesting facts and entertaining explanations ;)

We will visit from the outside (We will enter the Chapel of the Oidor except for the 6:00 PM group):

  • Plaza de las Bernardas
  • Archbishop's Palace
  • Interview House
  • Magistral Cathedral of the Holy Children
  • Main street
  • Cervantes Birthplace Museum
  • Former Antezana Hospital
  • Cervantes Square
  • Corral de Comedias
  • Chapel of the Oidor (Where Cervantes' Baptismal Certificate is located)
  • Old University of Alcalá


And more! ( With a game included during the Tour, we'll see what happens in the end )

So , I'm waiting for you to discover Alcalá together. I assure you, you'll fall in love with it 😊
