My Home in Alcala

Here are some pictures from our walking tour of Alcalá this afternoon!



Some of the offices of the Instituto Franklin


Front entrance to the Istituto


View from the front doors 


Hidden courtyard at the Istituto



Mural in a central hallway of my new "Alma Mater"...not sure exactly what this one means, yet.


La Plaza Cervantes (after Miguel de Cervantes, the most important person to come out of Alcalá de Henares) 


Christmas tree en la Plaza Central, where we are obviously still celebrating Christmas!


Feliz Navidad!


Another shot from the plaza, shows the unique and beautiful trees that border it


The most important and most beautiful building of the Universidad de Alcalá, where the Cervantes prize for Spanish literature is awarded by the King and Queen every April



Statue of Cisneros, the second-most important person (behind Cervantes), who first founded the University of Alcalá


My first selection for casual reading...War Eagle!


Christopher Columbus monument in front of another beautiful building
