Where to stay in Alcala de Henares
Staying in the historic centre puts you within easy walking distance of the Wednesday market and Alcalá's beautiful old town. Try the Parador de Alcalá de Henares, which occupies a stunning former convent, or the more affordable Hotel Cisneros on the main plaza.
If you prefer a quieter base, look for options around Casco Histórico, where you can explore the university quarter and Cervantes' birthplace after the market winds down.
