ALCALÁ de henares. Home to Miguel de Cervantes, Spain's first university, the site where the Catholic Kings first listened to Cristobal Colón talk his jive, and abnormally large storks. Small and close, a decent day trip to escape the ballyhoo of the capital and pass out on a bench in the plaza de cervantes after a couple cañas and some tasty cerdo at the city highlight, Indalo tapas bar. Took a tour, all in spainspeak, and got a ride home from a pretty little Alcalan called Belinda. Supposed to go back and see the medieval Cervantes house, but I think I'll just grab lunch and siesta instead. TravelTip: if you've got a B-zone abono, make it visible and tell the ticket seller in Atocha train station, "quiero pagar el diferencia de los billetes de ida y vuelta", and you should find yourself there for less than 5e. Go for the cerdo.
