Today was a festival day in Madrid. I didn’t have class and Maria and David didn’t have to work so we decided to spend the day in Alcalá de Herenes and enjoy the awesome fall weather. David, my intercambio partner, has a car so we had the pleasure of skipping public transportation (and enduring Madrid traffic - never again) and drove about 20 minutes to Alcala.
Alcalá is the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote. Christopher Colombus first met with The Queen Isabel in Alcalá to discuss his journey to America in 1504. I had a wonderful time having lunch, wandering the streets, and touring Cervantez’s childhood home.
Un beso, Rachel
