The Alcázar, a military academy in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a notorious symbol of nationalism in the Spanish Civil Wars, has since 2010 has been the site of Spain’s army museum, an amalgamation of several institutions. It has a huge collection, totalling more than 35,000 items including knives, swords, firearms, artillery pieces, flags, uniforms and medals. It includes leather shields and breech-loading shotguns used by the army.

A foundation at Alcalá de Henares is trying to put together a museum for Spanish motorcycles. A small portion of this collection is shown at a nearby hotel: "at the Hotel Alcalá Plaza they share our passion for two wheels. The result is a unique exhibition that condenses specialties, decades and trends. A cocktail that invites you to imagine the immense possibilities of the future Motorcycle Museum. More than 40 classics from different periods and origins in a pleasant, lavishly decorated space. And only 30 km from Madrid"

Visit the permanent exhibition of classic motorcycles located in the Health Resort of Caldes de Boí, with more than 80 road motorcycles made in Spain between 1940 and 1985.
