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

My name is David Alba, Certified and Graduated Guide in Tourism from the University of Alcala de Henares (UAH). With this tour you can learn the ins and outs of what is the first University City in the World, the Alcala de las 3 Culturas and the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

We will start at the Arch of San Bernardo, the least trafficked place in the Center, and we will see all the Heritage from less to more, until we reach the University being the most important. Breaking everything down at the end, with funny explanations ;)

We will visit outside (we enter the Chapel of the Hearer except in the group of 19:00 summer) :
· Archbishop's Palace
· Cathedral of Magistrates
· Calle Mayor
· Casa Natal de Cervantes
· Plaza de Cervantes
· Chapel of the Hearer (We will see the Cervantes Baptism Game)
· University of Alcalá

And much more! (With game included at the end, we will see what happens to whoever wins)
