"En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor"... Éstas son las primeras palabras de El Quijote, y nuestro Sheebo quiso conocer los famosos lugares de los que habla el libro. Aquí le podemos ver sentado con Don Quijote
"In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing"... These are the first words of Don Quixote, and our Sheebo wanted to see those famous places described in the book. We can see Sheebo sitting on Don Quixote
El protagonista del libro es Alonso Quijano, un caballero rural retirado, de unos 50 años de edad, que vive en algún lugar de La Mancha con su sobrina y su criada. Se obsesiona con los libros de caballería y decide marchar como un caballero errante en busca de aventuras. Se coloca una vieja armadura y se nombra como "Don Quijote de la Mancha", y nombra a su flaco caballo como "Rocinante". Además, designa a una campesina del lugar, Aldonza Lorenzo, como su amada, llamándola Dulcinea del Toboso, sin que ella sepa nada de ésto.
The protagonist of the book is Alonso Quixano (or Quijano), a retired country gentleman nearing 50 years of age, who lives in an unnamed section of La Mancha with his niece and a housekeeper. He has become obsessed with books of chivalry and decides to go out as a knight-errant in search of adventure. He dons an old suit of armor, renames himself "Don Quixote de la Mancha," and names his skinny horse "Rocinante". He designates a neighboring farm girl, Aldonza Lorenzo, as his lady love, renaming her Dulcinea del Toboso, while she knows nothing about this.

Éstos son los molinos de viento de Campo de Criptana. Don Quijote luchó contra ellos pensando que eran feroces gigantes.
These are the famous windmills of Campo de Criptana. Don Quixote attacked them because he believed that they were ferocious giants.

Los molinos de viento son espectaculares. Hay muchos en la región de La Mancha, y algunos se pueden visitar por dentro.
