If you already know Alcalá de Henares and are almost an expert, we suggest that you take this tour into one of the most unknown areas of the city, the Christian quarter. We will begin our route in the Plaza de los Santos Niños, the place where two of our protagonists, the children Justo and Pastor, were beheaded. Next, we will look up to discover the Roman inscriptions hidden in the Cathedral-Magistral, and then walk through the ancient "red light district" of Alcalá, revealing the most unknown ins and outs of the old brothel.

The War of Independence in the Henares River region will also be one of the topics we will address, led by one of its most popular and beloved heroes in the Cervantine population: El Empecinado.

We will discover several convents full of history, curiosities and traditions that are still alive, while we follow the trail of duels, fights and murders that took place in dark alleys, cases of witchcraft, renowned inquisitorial trials and even the origin of the oldest profession in the world.

All this and much more awaits us on the Alcalá de Henares Insólita Free Tour.
