Dear friends, today we are gathered to say goodbye to Don Quixote, a great man, whom I have sweet memories and that will never be erased from my mind. Don Quixote was a dreamer, intelligent and courageous. Many called him crazy and throughout his life he had to live with the humiliation and mockery of his closest friends who saw him as insane for living his own convictions. I confess that I was one of those and I regret not having given my attention to him before. I believe his friends would also be sorry if they heard him without judgment, as I did when I decided to be his faithful squire.
Don Quixote was a knight inside and out, he dared to keep the wonderful world of fantasy in our cruel reality. He was noble, kind, generous and passionate ... in love with life, books, adventures, landscapes and fantasy. Today he promotes his latest adventure and while we say goodbye I ask him not to be sad to continue the walk without me, because I know that when we meet again, our trips will be even more profitable.
