Fine photo. I'm puzzled by the statue. I thought Cervantes lost a hand at Lepanto and was very proud of his sacrifice. I would have thought a statue would reflect this... especially his pride in his loss. Then... sculptors do what they are asked to... usually! ;-)

I thank all your comments. Really, I don't know if he is really crying or it's only a defect in the stone. Let's think he's crying because real world has not changed very much since he wrote his novel. I had, weesel, the same thought that you while I was retouching the shot and realized he had two hands. Thank you.
