Madrid · Spain
What you will discover
Explore Alcalá de Henares near Madrid, connecting its historic university, arcaded streets and Cervantes heritage on a private walking visit.
Alcalá offers a way into Spain’s literary and university history beyond central Madrid. The university founded by Cardinal Cisneros in 1499 shaped the town, while its connection with Cervantes gives visitors another thread to follow through the historic streets.
The proposed walk links the university area, Calle Mayor and the Cathedral-Magistral, with the area around Cervantes’ birthplace. The university and historic precinct became a World Heritage site in 1998; entering individual buildings depends on the itinerary and their current admission conditions.
