Your Experience

Valladolid, 1605: the city is the proud capital of Spain, Cervantes has just published Don Quixote, and an English delegation arrives to ratify the Treaty of London. A few days after it leaves, a mysterious murder happens at Cervantes' door. In this self-guided exploration game you follow William Shakespeare and Isabela, a Spanish-English lady, from the Casa de Cervantes past the Plaza Mayor and the Palacio de Pimentel to the Palace of Gondomar. Characters and events come from historical records.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 2 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.

What if the crime at Cervantes' door was a consequence of the English visit?
