C.P. DULCINEA SCHOOL OUR
CITY Dulcinea School is situated in Alcalá de Henares. Alcalá lies 30 Km. Away from Madrid City. Alcalá is a major administrative and industrial centre with 190.000 inhabitants. Alcalá has fast and frequent bus and rail links with Madrid. Alcalá was one of the sites favoured by the Roman Empire. The Romans called it Complutum. In the wake of imperial decline, the town came under the Muslim empire. Indeed its present name, Alcalá, is an Arabic term which translates roughly as “castle”. The University of Alcalá was founded in 1499 as a centre of “General Studies”, and thus Alcalá became the most important intellectual centre of its time. The large part of the inhabitans work in industry and staff universities, schools, hospitals, banks, etc. Migration to Alcalá, mainly from South America, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Morocco has been massive in recent years.
