El Caballero Don Quijote

After hearing that the Turks were coming down the coast with a dangerous navy, Don Alonso Quijano, Don Quixote of la Mancha, knight Errant, will once more sally forth, in spite of his niece and housekeeper's objections, and engage in a new battle that starts in La Mancha and ends at the coast. Dressed in renaissance style armor, quite old-fashioned for the time, in 1615, the "mad" knight errant everyone makes fun of begins his adventures with his faithful squire. The fearful Sancho Panza, who incites and praises the nobelman's imaginary battles, decides to acompany him to support him, as always, in his endeavors. Sancho also expects to be rewarded by becoming Governor of an island, a promise made to him long ago by Don Quixote. But his master is very clear about his priorities in his battles : to free his beloved, the imaginary Dulcinea, from a spell. In order to do so, he goes to the back cave to meet Montesinos. He will come upon the following adventure right along the road. He accepts the Duke's honors and tributes while the Duke, mocking him, says that to free Dulcinea, Sancho must be whipped thousands of times.
