A modest two-storey house just south of the old centre, where Miguel de Cervantes lived between 1604 and 1606 — the years that saw the publication of the first part of Don Quixote in 1605. The house has been preserved as a writer's home with period furnishings, a small interior courtyard, and a curated collection of early editions of his works.
The atmosphere is more low-key and authentic than the bigger Cervantes shrines in Madrid or Alcalá. Read a few pages of Don Quixote on the bench in the courtyard, then walk five minutes north to a tapas bar — you will not be the first person in this neighbourhood to put writing and wine in close succession.
