Don Quixote is the story of a country gentleman named Alonso Quixano who has read so many stories of chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight-errant.
Together with his earthy squire Sancho Panza he calls himself "Don Quixote de la Mancha" and sets out in search of adventure. Looking for a dragon to slay he spies a windmill in the distance and charges his horse.
