In the small town of Alcala de Henares, which is about 20 miles outside of Madrid, we visited the birthplace of Spanish writer Miguel Cervantes who wrote the classic, Don Quixote. Regretfully, the museum is closed on Mondays, so we were unable to visit inside.

After a train ride back from Alcala, and a quick jump on the Metro, we found ourselves in the Plaza Mayor.

Not sure what happened to the venerable superhero, but Spiderman doesn't look quite the same in Spain.
