Great Things to Do Guanajuato | Don Quixote and Cervantes

We are visiting the surprisingly colorful city of Guanajuato. We learned about it’s legends, sampled it’s food, and enjoyed its art. But the locals are probably most obsessed with its literature. Especially one of literature’s greatest heroes, Don Quixote. Today, there are statues of him all over the place. In this video we explore the reasons why and we investigate other Guanajuato literary traditions such as the International Cervantes Festival (Cervantino Festival).
