Madrid, Plaza de España
Made by John^R
Plaza de España is a large square, and popular tourist destination, located in central Madrid, Spain, at the western end of the Gran Vía. It features a monument to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, and is bordered by two of Madrid's most prominent skyscrapers. Also, the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) is a short walk south from the plaza. In the center of the plaza is a monument to Spanish novelist, poet and playwright Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, designed by architects Rafael Martínez Zapatero and Pedro Muguruza and sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera. Most of the monument was built between 1925 and 1930. It was finished between 1956 and 1957 by Federico Coullaut-Valera Mendigutia, the son of the original sculptor. The tower portion of the monument includes a stone sculpture of Cervantes, which overlooks bronze sculptures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Next to the tower, there are two stone representations of Don Quixote's true love, one as the simple peasant woman Aldonza Lorenzo, and one as the beautiful, imaginary Dulcinea del Toboso.

Sancho Panza
Made by Cruccone
Mio Signore, io purtroppo sono un povero ignorante e del suo discorso astratto ci ho capito poco o niente, ma anche ammesso che il coraggio mi cancelli la pigrizia, riusciremo noi da soli a riportare la giustizia ? In un mondo dove il male è di casa e ha vinto sempre, dove regna il capitale, oggi più spietatamente, riuscirà con questo brocco e questo inutile scudiero al potere dare scacco e salvare il mondo intero ? (F. Guccini, Don Chisciotte)

Despite being designed by the same architect - Julián Otamendi, the Edificio España and the Torre de Madrid, the two most imposing structures on the Plaza de España, could not be more different. While the style of the Edificio españa reminds of the skyscrapers erected by Stalin in Moscow, the Torre de Madrid is more in line with the high-rise building styles of the Western world.

Sancho Panza
Made by Cruccone
E' un testardo, un idealista, troppi sogni ha nel cervello: io che sono più realista mi accontento di un castello. Mi farà Governatore e avrò terre in abbondanza, quant'è vero che anch'io ho un cuore e che mi chiamo Sancho Panza... (F. Guccini, Don Chisciotte)

Nearby our hotel was the Plaza de España. We meant to come back and spend more time here but as is always the case with just a couple of days in a big city, we didn't have a chance to.
