"One morning before dawn [...] he commenced to ride through the ancient and illustrious countryside of Montiel. And it was true that this was where he was riding". The author leaves no doubt about the region that is Don Quixote’s homeland, whichever village he was born in, that place whose name he does not care to remember. No matter, "we should respect the deliberate ambiguity imposed by Cervantes". Argamasilla, Ruidera, the windmills... In Don Quixote the countryside of La Mancha is more felt than described, in words of Joaquín González.
