Museo Casa de Cervantes in Valladolid, Spain

The seminal Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra lived in many Spanish cities—including Madrid, Seville, and Toledo—but this domicile museum in Castilla y León has been preserved with antique furniture to give the impression you’re paying the writer a visit. In this house, a nobleman died accidentally, leading to imprisonment for Cervantes before he was cleared of blame. It is also one of the homes in which Cervantes wrote the first part of his classic novel, Don Quixote.
