The home and museum of Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes was a popular novelist, poet, and playwright from the 16th century. His famous work, Don Quixote, is considered to be the first modern European Novel. He has had a monumental influence on the Spanish language, and even has a Spanish holiday dedicated to him on the 8th of October! You can visit his house and look around. It’s pretty cool and gives you an idea of what medieval life was like.
