Fancy yourself as a literary buff? Head to the home of Cervantes.
Alcalá is best known as the hometown of Don Quixote author, Miguel de Cervantes. But that’s just the start. There’s also a buzzing tapas scene and a medieval university campus. Did we mention the historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site too?
