Cervantino Festival

The 39th annual Cervantino Festival starts next week, continuing through Oct. 30. Biggest cultural event of its kind in Mexico, it is held in Guanajuato because that city is so Spanish in appearance. It all began with university students performing short plays written by Miguel Cervantes, author of “Don Quixote” (Don Quijote in Spanish). The Cervantino attracts artists (performing, painting and writing) from around the world.
