this is Plaza de Cervantes (miguel de cervantes, the author od Don Quixote was born in Alcala) that statue is of him. This is the Plaza where the bus to school drops us off. It is much prettier when all the bushes grow their greens back!
another view of Plaza de Cervantes, you can see the very old buildings in the background (built in late 1400s and early 1500s)
me sitting on Don Quixote's lap outside of Miguel de Cervantes' house.
The church of the Santo de los Ninos (saint of children). this is in the plaza de los Santos Ninos and also near the Plaza of the Irish (Irlandeses) because a few hundred years ago Irish Catholics came to Spain to escape religious persecution and they ended up in Alcala). This is the church we look for on our way to school, that's how we know we're walking the right way!
Tapas! I'm not sure if you can see here but Tapas are a toasted piece of bread usually with ham or tuna on top, and you choose how its prepared (raw, cooked, with tomatos, with a sauce, etc) For 2.20 Euro you can get 1 tapa and 1 drink (either a glass of wine, glass of beer, or soda) it's a great snack!
