PLACES YOU CANNOT GIVE UP VISITING

There are many things to see in Alcalá, so the visit can get as longer as you want. But there are things that cannot be left without a visit. And more than a visit, more than a look, they deserve trying to know them, penetrating in them; because there is a set of privileged spots where the soul of this old town is concentrated. They constitute a repertoire of elements you will take away with you in your memory and the fact that they make up an exquisite selection of the best of Alcalá.

Like all the old towns, Alcalá has accumulated history since its soil was occupied for the first time by prehistoric men that stepped on El Gandul.
