Tour description

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

With this tour, you'll have the perfect introduction to understand a city with a history of over 2 millennia. You will learn the intricacies of what was and is the first University City in the World thanks to Cardinal Cisneros, what was the Alcalá of the 3 Cultures, and the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the author of Don Quixote.

We will start at the Plaza de las Bernardas, a space that allows us to begin in a quiet and less crowded area of the Historic Center, and gradually see all the main tourist spots from less to more, until reaching the University, which is the most important part of the Tour. Unraveling everything at the end as if it were a good novel, full of curiosities and fun explanations ;)

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

  • Plaza de las Bernardas 
  • Archbishop's Palace 
  • House of the Interview 
  • Magistral Cathedral of the Santos Niños 
  • Main Street 
  • Cervantes Birthplace Museum 
  • Old Antezana Hospital 
  • Cervantes Square 
  • Comedy Theater 
  • Chapel of the Oidor (Where Cervantes' Baptism Record is) 
  • Old University of Alcalá


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

Therefore, I look forward to discovering Alcalá together. I assure you that you will fall in love with it😊
