Car hire in Alcala de Henares

Alcala de Henares , a little over 30km from Madrid, is one of Europe's most ancient university towns, and renowned as the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes . In the sixteenth century the university was a rival to Salamanca's, but in 1836 the faculties moved to Madrid and the town went into decline. Almost all the artistic heritage was lost in the Civil War and nowadays it's virtually a suburb of Madrid.

Just off the central Plaza Cervantes is the oldest surviving public theatre in Europe, the Cervantes Theatre , whose twenty-year restoration is nearing completion, although dispute continues over the theatre's future use. Discovered beneath a crumbling old cinema by two drama students in 1980, the theatre, like Shakespeare's Globe, was a hub of rowdy heckling and lively dramatics throughout the first half of the seventeenth century.
