The 41st annual Cervantes Festival will take place this year from Oct. 9 to 27, in Guanajuato, as always. Guanajuato, a hilly silver-mining city, is said to resemble the settings for some short plays by Spanish author (Don Quixote) Miguel de Cervantes. Local university students half-a-century ago often performed these brief works on Guanajuato street corners. This gave rise to the Festival Cervantino that now attracts participants from around the world and is a leading cultural event in Mexico.
