J’aime beaucoup cette photo et son angle étrange. Jje crois vraiment que Don Quichotte est un des plus beaux livres de la littérature occidentale….

I was going to say he was dreaming the impossible dream, but the you had that in the link. But I guess I said it anyway. 🙂

Do you know when this was erected? I hope it’s been fairly recent because otherwise I missed it on my trip there in 2009 and I hate to think I’d have missed that. However, we did spend a lot of time in a few places rather than little time in many, so perhaps we did miss Don Q.

I’ve no idea. It just stands outside a shop I think so it may get moved in and out.

And I found another photo – a very uninspiring model on wheels

I was intrigued as to whether it was his voice, and apparently he was his decision to find someone else!

Hey, that’s a good one with Mr O’Toole!

Yea. I think I must watch it now. I went to see it at the theatre a couple of years ago. Starting Kelsey Grammer. I really enjoyed it but it didn’t get good reviews.

Stirring stuff at breakfast time, Debs! I was spellbound 🙂 🙂 And was that Sophia Loren? Toledo- another one I haven’t reached. Talk about the unreachable star 😦

We can always hop to Madrid from Barcelona. And Toledo is an easy day trip by train. 😀😀

What an amazing voice, thanks for the share. And I think I saw that statue of Don Quixote but your capture is more interesting!

I don’t think he was very impressive but I couldn’t resist following his glaze.

That’s what I thought too. But the angle you capture made it interesting!
