📖

Full description

The Monumento a Cervantes honours the author of Don Quixote with sculptures and a fountain in Plaza de España, one of Madrid's central public squares. Reviewers recommend it to anyone who has read Cervantes and wants to pay respects, though one notes that the modern RIU building behind it detracts from the setting.

It is a quick stop of around 15 minutes, free and accessible at any hour, and fits naturally into a walk along Gran Vía or through the nearby Plaza de España area.

The Monument to Miguel de Cervantes located in the Plaza de España, a beautiful piece of arts. In particular, those whoever read his books shouldn’t miss the chance, come have a look and show your respect.
