Pornography and soft drugs were legalised alongside more basic freedoms, such as divorce, party-affiliation and kissing in the street. In 1998 she returned to make a journey through the great cities and towns of central Spain - Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, Salamanca and others. With the new prosperity, much has changed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut much has also endured, as she learns from the people she meets, who include a private detective, a shepherd, various nuns, two belly dancers and a Castilian separatist.  She also discovers that Cervantes' DON QUIXOTE' published in 1605 and the most translated book after the Bible - is a work of genius which still helps to explain the Spanish character: today's Spaniards still suffer from Don Quixote's delusions, and are as stubborn, inflexible and unrealistic as they have always been.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892318826725,"sku":"NP9780753813843","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_83ba9c08-4a5b-49a9-b2f5-8dd5677c1559.jpg?v=1773101765","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/don-quixotes-delusions-isbn-9780753813843","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
