Spain finds Don Quixote writer Cervantes’ tomb in Madrid

After several months of work, researchers believe they have found the remains of the illustrious Miguel de Cervantes. The most famous Spanish writer of all time was buried in 1616 in the Convent of the Trinity, which is located in the charming “Barrio de las Letras” (Literary Quarter) where Cervantes lived for years.
A team of anthropologists, archaeologists and scientists have found the exact niche where the remains of Cervantes and his wife were laid to rest.

This picturesque district is preparing to receive a flood of tourists and shops windows already exhibit pictures, objects and souvenirs related with Miguel de Cervantes. This lovely shop (Amieva-Mexico), which almost goes by unnoticed, will delight lovers of history as specializes in antique books and old photographs (address: Calle de las Huertas, 20).
