Alcala de Henares

We spent a great afternoon in Alcala de Henares. It is a small town just outside of Madrid.
 David and Charlotte Hawkins came along to make it more fun.
This is a statue of Cervantes, the famed Spanish author of Don Quijote de la Mancha.
 He was born and buried in Alcala.

This is the town square.

The round stones were original Roman columns.

Very old columns holding up the portico running through town.

Don Quijote and Sancho Panza

Sweet husbands who take charge of the family purses.

Cervantes' home is behind this bench.

This town is covered with stork nests.  As it was getting close to sunset the storks started returning to their nests.

The sky filled with storks coming home.

This was a very interesting church in Alcala.

This church was built on the site where two young princes were executed for refusing to deny Christianity.

It was a great day we will remember.
