Madrilenian cuisine with Cervantine roots
The gastronomic offer of the Parador de Alcalá de Henares combines the culinary tradition of Madrid, without forgetting references to Cervantes' recipes as one of its great hallmarks. A menu supported by a selection of D.O. Madrid wines.
Heir to the university tradition
The Hostería del Estudiante is located opposite the Parador in the former Colegio Menor de San Jerónimo founded by Cisneros and overlooks the Trilingual Courtyard of the University of Alcalá. It is a unique 16th century setting, with huge wooden beams and a fireplace where cooking was already taking place five centuries ago. Now you can enjoy the traditional and classic dishes of the Hostería along with the most emblematic dishes of the cuisine of the different Paradores.

Elegance and splendour on the banks of the Ebro
It’s worth taking a stroll through Calahorra’s historical centre to gaze in awe at its Cathedral, the old Islamic quarter, the arch and the old Roman forum, the church of San Andrés, the Plaza del Raso and the municipal museum which houses the famous effigy, the Dama Calagurritana, or the Carmelite convent with an impressive Christ statue by the Baroque sculptor Gregorio Fernández.
Calahorra is also a wine-growing area. Head out to Aldeanueva del Ebro, a little more than fifteen minutes from the hotel, to visit the first Wine Museum in La Rioja Baja, located in La Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Portal; or explore fantastic wineries where the exquisite wines of La Rioja are produced.
For a family trip we recommend the Dinosaurs' Route. The footprints of these prehistoric animals can be seen in more than forty sites in the Calahorra region, in nearby towns such as Enciso and Igea.
