Alcalá de Henares

After a few amazing days with Pedro I visited Manolo´s family in Alcalá and although they didnt know me, they let me stay at their house and I spent two days there.

Lolo´s mum and me went to a sightseeing tour and damn, Alcalá is bigger and more historic than I imagined. Alcalá was the first city specifically founded as a university, by Cardinal Cisneros in 1499.
It is also the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes, the guy who wrote "Don Quijote".






"University of Alcalá"


The city is so pretty. There are stork nests on the top of buildings, nice parks and heaps of things to see. I really like its mixture of old and modern architecture and buildings..
And although Lolo´s mum doesn´t speak english at all, we got along with each other very well and of necessity my spanish gets better and better... I really had a blast..



Manolito, how your grandmother says, I am so happy that I had the chance to meet your family. They are incredible... I love them. Mucias gracias por todo to your dad, mum and sister for the book (I already started reading it), their hospitality, time and effort they spent me having nice days. I really appreciate it and enjoyed my time there. I hope I can see them again soon... Unfortunately Germany did loose yesterday- no final Germany- Portugal... But I want u to know: U r still always welcome here!!! ;-)
Muchas gracias y besitos!!!!
