La Mancha

This was just a quick break. The little inn here was representative of the place where the innkeeper knighted Don Quixote. Sure it was touristy, but it was cute. Almost like those museums of rural life where locals set up old farm implements as they would've been used.

These windmills no longer work, but they keep them up for nostalgia sake. The Spanish schoolchildren all read Cervantes like we read Shakespeare, old school language and all.
