Plaza de España




In Plaza de España, off of Gran Vía, there is a monument dedicated to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. He is the stone sculpture seated in the center. Below him are his creations, Don Quijote & Sancho Panza, and on either side, there is a representation of Don Quijote's one true love: one as the peasant woman Aldonza Lorenzo, and one as he imagines her, as the beautiful Dulcinea del Toboso.
