A Day in Alcalá de Henares, Spain

<p>Madrid is a vibrant and regal city with enough fabulous things to keep you entertained for the rest of your life.</p> <p>But with over 3 million inhabitants and what seems like just as many tourists, it is crowded. All. The. Time.</p> <p>As much as I love the bustle of Madrid, sometimes I just want to have a museum all to myself, to get a seat on a fabulous terrace on a Saturday afternoon and to saunter to my heart&rsquo;s content.</p> <p>Toledo and Segovia seem to get all of the attention from the guidebooks and tour programs in Madrid. While you cannot beat Toledo&rsquo;s winding Medieval streets or Segovia&rsquo;s magnificent aqueduct, there are other places in and around the capital city where you can see top-notch historic sights and experience the best of Spanish life.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@cattravelwriting/a-day-in-alcal%C3%A1-de-henares-spain-717ea3dca628"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
