Listed by UNESCO, Alcalá de Henares puts an atmospheric spin on student life. All the festivals just make it better. Cervantes Week (the guy who wrote Don Quixote and once lived here) is the most famous. Think food on a grand scale, music, theatre and markets. But any week of the year, there’s nightlife to keep you busy. Chillout the morning after in a local park or take a long lunch getting down with the local tapas culture. Want some big city energy? Madrid’s just 35km away.
Like to do things differently? You’ll love Lope de Vega, part of the sustainable rehabilitation of Alcalá de Henares, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even better, this historic space delivers the best kind of 21st-century student experience!
Rooms are single, double or attic and they all include cleaning and a full-board meal service. There’s super-fast wifi, a games room and a gym, plus air con. Or when the weather gets hot, chill out on the enormous patio and get to know your 400+ neighbours!
