Overview

Welcome to Alcala de Henares!

With Local, Native and Certified Guides, you will get to know a city with more than 2,000 years of history. We will discover 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.

We will start in the Plaza de las Bernardas, a quiet corner, from where we will go through the historic center. We will reserve the University for the end... like the climax of a good novel! All with curiosities, fun explanations and a final game.
