The past few days has been an interesting one. An eccentric character has been staying at the oasis of Suryaluna. This wonderful character is no other than Don Quijote de la Mancha.
An actor, originally from Jalisco, he is a funny and loyal friend. He makes his living mingling with tourists and locals alike, who love to take pictures with him. They tip him and he moves on. He works in the main plazas of Mexico. Being tall and amazingly dressed, one cannot miss him as he wears his armor, helmet, sword and lance each time he goes to work. The people of San Miguel crowd around him and talk to him each time he is in town. A character from another time, one might think that he is simply a fictional character. He is, however, very real and is here, looking for the conquest of his own life, among other things and finding his eternal beloved Dulcinea.
A brave warrior who is not afraid of fighting demons or giants, the extreme weather and various sorts of tourists, he is suited in his armor everytime he steps into public. We know that he is a romantic and always polite, but the real man behind the character is a mystery. We heard he might make San Miguel his base and live here, if that were true, it would be very cool indeed.

I think this man is awesome! he's a reminder of a beautiful idea of romanticism, courage and ideals, and some crazyness too! I hope the next time I can take my picture with him. And about the man and the mistery of his identity... Like a great movie would say: "Ideas don't have faces".
