Wonderful inspiring statues in the centre of Brussels, depicting the heroes of one of the most esteemed works of all world literature, "The Ingenious Knight Don Quixote of La Mancha" by the great Spanish writer Don Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra (1547-1616).

The unforgettable characters of Don Quixote and his loyal aide Sancho Panza r known throughout the world, even by many people who have not read the epic work of Cervantes, which he produced in two parts, "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha" in 1605 and then "Segunda parte del ingenioso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha" in 1615.

People often miss seeing this delightful statue of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza cause it is located in a rather quiet square, slightly hidden from the tourist bustle and restaurants and hotels all around it.

It is located appropriately enough in the Place D'Espagne - Spanjeplein, what in English would be Spain Square or Spanish Square.
