It has been coveted as a perfect destination for the study of the Spanish language owing to its excellent connections to the whole of Europe and for being one of the main cradles of Spanish Literature. With a population of around 205.000 inhabitants and nurturing a culturally rich historical heritage, Alcal\u00e1 de Henares is a must-visit area for tourists visiting the Spanish Capital.<\/p>\n<p>Alcal\u00e1 de Henares combines the modernity University town with an enormously rich historical legacy, for which it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Few cities in Spain can boast such a clear diversity of architecture through its different neighbourhoods. In the outskirts, the Complutum Roman ruins take us back to the origins of the city from the 1st Century AD; while a tour through the medieval streets and the narrow cobbled alleyways reveal examples of buildings from the three main cultures in Spanish history: Arabic, Judaic and Christian.<\/p>\n<figure id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4005 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><ol><li
