Alcalá de Henares

This is the perfect spot to visit on a Sunday. My friends and I went to spend an afternoon and to eat. This city is pure history in every step you take. We left the car near the Renfe station and in about 10 minutes we reached the main street which includes historic Jewish houses and a peaceful atmosphere. We ate at a restaurant whose owners were Basque, the restaurant is named Baserri. Lovely restaurant with a covered patio and wood decor. The quality of the food was good and the menu was only 10 euros. Then we went to the Museum of Cervantes house just meters from the restaurant and finally walked through the streets of the city.

Day trip from Madrid ideal to kick back and really explore the beautiful local ambiance.
