Great day trip! - A wonderful visit to Alcalá de Henares - the university and city center were lovely, and the Cervantes House Museum was interesting. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable! A bonus highlight was experiencing the Mercado Cervantino, a yearly medieval festival. Highly recommend - perfect for a day trip!
