I.C. “Los Universos de Cervantes. 84 Alcalá de Henares is regarded through this guide as an impor- tant destination for business events; a bet that complements the wide range of cultural and heritage activities offered by the City of Arts and Letters and that also wants to become the keystone of the city's economic development.

Facing the new economic challenges, we have opted to em- phasise the exceptional resources that are at our disposal, and exploit the economic side of this cultural city, where singularity makes us unique and supports us in our efforts to generate wealth and employment, as well as to be a Convention City.

The manual you are holding in your hands will allow you to discover every detail of Alcalá, its important historical and monumental legacy –declared World Heritage City in 1998 by UNESCO-, and our wide range of hotels and modern infrastructure, transforming thus our city into an ideal place for holding meetings and conferences.

From now on, our city opens its doors to you all and offers, through the Municipal Conference Office of Alcalá de Henares (OMCA), the support and help you might need to hold a successful meeting in a modern city, and the singularity of a unique historical environment. s.

We would like to position Alcalá de Henares as a city of economic development by supporting a sector that fosters a high expenditure per tourist, enhances tourism all year round, and makes the tourist offer profitable; all this along with the common ef- fort and close collaboration with those associations we joined: the Spain Convention Bureau and the Congress-World Heritage Cities Alliance of Spain.

This manual allows you to know first-hand the offer of our city, give advice and pro- fessional assistance from the Municipal Conference Office of Alcalá de Henares (OMCA), and also allows you to enjoy a unique experience which makes us feel proud of our city: the opportunity to hold your conferences or meetings in exceptio- nal places that are part of a Historical Site, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The City of the Three Cultures Discover Alcalá during the Middle Ages, with its three quarters –Christian, Jewish and Muslim-, through a route that goes all over the landmarks of these historical areas. The spaces and memories of the mosque and the old synagogues, the jew- ish butcher’s, the shop keepers, the churches, the trades and places that shaped and gave much of its character to a medieval town full of contrasts, was an exam- ple of cultural fellowship. Ceramic plaques are placed at the most relevant places of medieval Alcalá. A cross, a seven branched lampstand or a half moon appears on them, depending on which one of the three quarters they are placed at. There are also three main plaques, marking the limits of each quarter and the location of the remaining plaques.

The Muslim Quarter Main Plaque, Bernardas Square, Archaeological Museum. - Mosque, Santiago Street. - Almanxara, San Bernardo Street, Archaeological Museum. - Old Market, crossing between Diego de Torres and Santiago Streets. - Muslim Quarter wicket, Diego de Torres Street, in front of Madre de Dios street.

Jewish Quarter Main Plaque, Mayor Street, in front of Imagen Street. - Major Synagogue, Corral de la Sinagoga alley, facing Mayor Street. – Minor Synagogue, Santiago Street. – Jew- ish butcher’s, crossing between Cervantes and Mayor Streets. – Shops and houses at Cambio Corner, Mayor Street, in front of Santos Niños Square.

Christian Quarter Main Plaque, Santos Niños Square, near Calle Mayor. – Cathedral of St Justus and St Pastor. – The Town Council and the Tercia/St Lucy Hermitage, Tercia Street. – Studium generale, Travesia de Seises Street. – The Brothel, Damas street. – Arch- bishop’s Jail, Vicario Street. – Santa María la Rica medieval hospital, Santa María la Rica Street. – Pillory Square, Santos Niños Square. - Fortress/Archbishop’s Palace, 100 Fountain Tower, Palacio Square. – Walled enclosure, Sandoval y Rojas Street. The City of Literature Thanks to Alcalá de Henares’s cultural relevance and its university tradition our his- tory is full of writers. Some of them were born here, some others discovered and de- scribed our city, and many became famous. This signposting guides us through the places connected with them at Alcalá. The City of the Storks Historical and natural heritage are closely linked in Alcalá’s landscape. The histori- cal buildings’ rooftops are a natural settlement area for the white stork. This favours a tourist route merging both elements, thus creating a new way to discover the city.

Don Juan Tenorio and Don Juan’s Nights at Alcalá Open air performance of the immortal romantic play from José Zorrilla around All Saints’ Day. According to the tradition, two performances are made, usually on Oc- tober, the 31st and November, the 1st, coinciding with the All Saints’ Day celebra- tions. Don Juan Tenorio at Alcalá was proclaimed a festivity of Regional Tourist Interest in 2002. As a complement for those performances, every November, the Council of Tourism of Alcalá organises dramatized visits: “Las Noches de Don Juan en Alcalá” (Don Juan’s Nights at Alcalá), a theatrical tour through Alcalá’s Old Town, including dis- counts and special offers in some of the restaurants and hotels of the city. For addi- tional information and reservations, please contact our Tourist Offices.*

Women’s History of Alcalá International Women’s Day is annually held on March 8, and Alcalá’s City Council proposes a dramatized tour that merges the relevant role of women in the history of the city and the opportunity of visiting the landmarks of its old town. All along the course, the group will be guided by an actress wearing historical clothes. Itinerary: Don Quixote’s Women, Antezana and Oidor chapels/The Universes of Cervantes In- terpretation Centre. - University and women.
