Ok, so it isn't the most exciting of attractions, but having read Don Quixote recently and having my own impressions of what he would look like I found it really interesting to see other opinions on the subject. more

In June 2009 we visited the Don Quixote Iconographic Museum in Guanajuato, the capital of the Mexican state of Guanajuato. Works of sculpture, painting, drawing and even metal work represent characters and events from the Spanish classic novel. Works are both serious and humorous.
