Tour Alcalá World Heritage Site
Tour description
Welcome to the Alcalá World Heritage Tour!
With this tour, you'll have the perfect introduction to understand a city with over 2,000 years of history. We will uncover the intricacies of the first University City in the world designed by Cardinal Cisneros, the coexistence in Alcalá of the "3 Cultures", and, of course, the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the genius behind Don Quixote.
We will start at the Plaza de las Bernardas, a quiet corner that will allow us to unravel the Historic Center from less to more. We reserve the main attraction, the University, for the end... like the climax of a good novel! All spiced up with curiosities, fun explanations, and a final game.
