Restaurant Santo Tomás - Parador de Alcalá de Henares

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.

Tradition and the avant-garde in the cradle of Spanish literature
The hotel is fully equipped with a spa, business centre, convention centre and twelve conference rooms. The location of this Parador, 26 kilometres from Madrid, 20 kilometres from Barajas International Airport and the IFEMA facilities, and only 2 kilometres away from the train station, make it an attractive destination, not only for tourism but also for conferences and celebrations.
Alcalá de Henares boasts the title of World Heritage City, and no wonder. In the cobbled streets of its historic centre, you’ll discover the historical legacy of this university city. A literary capital par excellence, this is where Miguel de Cervantes was born and where Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and San Juan de la Cruz, geniuses of the Spanish Renaissance, lived.
The Parador de Alcalá isn’t just the best starting point for visiting the city, but it’s also a good option for hosting conferences and celebrations. Once you come here, we know for certain that you’ll return, just as the storks return every year to the city spires.
