Spain marks Cervantes 400th death anniversary nationwide
Spain commemorates the 400th anniversary of Miguel de Cervantes death with events across the country. In Alcala de Henares King Felipe VI honors Fernando del Paso as the Cervantes Prize winner while culture minister Inigo Mendez lauds Cervantes impact on the novel. UNESCO’s World Book Day ties the celebrations to Shakespeare. Some critics urge more government funding for scale. A Twitter project posts the Don Quixote text in 140 character blocks, and a La Mancha themed TV menu series links to the tale.
