Fancy living in a medieval university town? Alcalá de Henares is for you.
Known as the city of three cultures with its Moorish, Jewish and Christian quarters, this quaint little town has winding cobbled streets packed with historic buildings. It's where Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote, was born. Plus, it’s so handy for getting to Madrid.
You'll find many international students and Spanish language students here – University of Alcalá is right down the road. That's awesome on two fronts: no commuting and it's more affordable to live here than the city center.
The great train service means you can head to central Madrid in 40 minutes.
