«A Thousand and One Quixotes. From El Paular to Castillo de Peralada» exhibition

From 12 September to 23 November 2025, the Serrería Belga cultural space hosts the exhibition «A Thousand and One Quixotes. From El Paular to Castillo de Peralada», a unique opportunity to rediscover Cervantes's work through more than 300 pieces of great artistic and bibliographical value.

The exhibition brings together 17th-century first editions from Castillo de Peralada's Cervantes collection, as well as little-known treasures: a Japanese edition of great aesthetic value, lithographs by Salvador Dalí, a sketch by Josep Maria Sert and unpublished drawings by illustrators Isidro and Antonio Carnicero. It is a journey that reflects how the figure of Don Quijote has inspired artists from different eras and cultures.

Castillo de Peralada's Cervantes collection has nearly 5,000 editions of the novel, of which more than 1,000 correspond to different versions of the classic. Part of that legacy now comes to Madrid under the curatorship of Susana García, offering the public a journey through centuries of interpretations of the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance and his inseparable Sancho Panza.
