Heir to the Roman Complutum, a university city par excellence, the cradle of Cervantes, the city of Alcalá is rich in monuments, gastronomy, art, and life, a lot of cultural life. The University is declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco and there are many monuments that adorn it: its cathedral, palaces, the corral de comedies, and of course, the birthplace of Cervantes, today converted into a museum.
In short, an essential of tourism in Madrid and of course, of cycling. It has all the infrastructures: Shops, accommodation, bars and restaurants and bicycle workshops

This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site university town. Not the grandest of world heritage sites but very historic. It was founded by Cardinal Jiménez de Cisneros in the early 16th century. Alcalá de Henares was the world's first planned university city. Not to be confused with being the oldest as this goes to Bologna in Italy. It has some pleasant historic buildings, a neat plaza and is well worth a visit as it’s a nice town. Just don’t expect an Oxford or Sorbonne.
