La Mancha Windmills, Spain, 1981

"Windmills tilt at the skies in the historic region of La Mancha, southeast of Toledo, where ventured Miguel de Cervantes' legendary knight, Don Quixote. Cervantes, El Greco, and dramatist Lope de Vega lived in Toledo, adding their art to a city where east and west fused and flourished."

—From "The Genius of El Greco," June 1982, National Geographic magazine
